Cullen Clebert (2021 C, Baton Rouge, LA) has a strong 5-11/205 build and an aggressive right-handed swing that can get the ball to jump hard gap to gap. He really gets curled and loaded well on his backside and explodes into contact with a big lower half shift into contact.
Colton Hegwood (2021 MIF, Brandon, MS) had a polished stroke from the left side of the plate, with consistent timing and barrel accuracy. He has loose hands and a fluid swing and will continue to improve as he gets stronger.
Connor Martin (2022 SS, Helena, AL) isn't especially big at 5-10/175 but had some of the best bat speed of the event. The left-handed hitter fires his hands hard and gets plenty of pull carry to the ball.
Paxton Ponder (2023 SS, Cullman, AL) has hitter's hands that create some present bat speed and a well timed and accurate barrel. More lower half use and continued physical maturity from the 5-11/155 sophomore will keep improving his already strong bat speed.
Carson Schmelzer (2024 1B, Oxford, MS) stands out for his 6-1/180 build and his raw bat speed from the right side. He's going to develop some serious power with continued refinement to his swing and additional strength as he can already drive the ball with back spin and carry.
Jake Henry Williams (2021 OF, Jonesboro, AR) is a seriously strong young man at a chiseled 6-1/203 and the ball comes off his bat with a different sound. He has a very simple and repeatable swing from the right side that is going to guarantee lots of hard barrels moving forward.
Marcus Locklear (2022 RHP, Hoover, AL) is a primary pitcher from nearby Hoover High School but he's a loose, quick twitch athlete with a very projectable build and plenty of whippy present bat speed.
Joshua Gunther (2023 RHP, Fairhope, AL) is another primary right handed pitcher with a chance to hit. He's a solid 5-11/186 athlete with present strength for his age and the ability to make the ball jump hard, especially when he stays back and lets the ball travel.
PJ Mineo (2023 OF, Nolensville, TN) has plenty of time to grow from his present 5-9/140 build but he has real bat speed right now, with quick hands to start his swing and very good use of his lower half to help drive that bat speed.
Merik Carter (2022 2B, Christiana, TN) has a young and projectable 6-0/160 build that makes him appear younger and a loose and easy swing with very good extension through the ball. He was very consistent in his timing and drove the right centerfield gap often.
Harlin Hovater (2024 C, Hernando, MS) is young left-handed hitting catcher with a chance to hit. He has a nice present 5-11/172 build that will fill out well and a loose swing with natural lift and good present bat speed.
Olin Ward (2023 3B, Saraland, AL) has an impressive 6-2/190 build and very good raw bat speed and power potential for a sophomore. A right-handed hitter, Ward is the son of former big league outfielder and hitting coach Turner Ward.
Austin Bolding (2023 SS, Knoxville, TN) has a nice young athletic body at 6-0/165 and a simple and strong swing approach that he repeats well. The ball came off his barrel hard, especially when he was pulling the ball.
