Oscar Santos (2018 SS, Carolina, PR): Showed big time bat speed with excellent leverage off of front side; roped a loud double into the left center field gap and showed his speed by scoring easily on the next hit. He also showed excellent range at shortstop with a strong arm.
Timothy Snyder (2020 RHP, Pembroke Pines, FL): Though a primary pitcher, Snyder showed solid hitting tools in the game, hitting a high double into the right center field gap with good carry on it, scoring Santos who had just doubled ahead of him. He was also effective on the mound, pounding the zone with three pitches over 3 shutout innings, striking out 3 in the process.
Rafael Escandar (2018 RHP, Miami, FL): Showed good stuff from a clean arm action through his four innings, surrendering only a single earned run while striking out 6. He worked 78-83 MPH with his fastball, touching 84 with big sinking life. He also mixed in a nice curveball.
Edgar Rodriguez (2019 LHP, Miami, FL): Showed a live, loose arm with highly projectable physicality and arm speed, striking out 8 of the 9 batters he faced with a live fastball in the 76-80 MPH range along with a very sharp, firm curveball.
James Epplen (2018 OF, Edgewood, KY): Has a very projectable frame with good wiry strength throughout, showed legitimate bat speed on a roped line out to right field. The ball really jumped off the bat extremely well with force.

Trevor Candelaria (2018 OF, Durango, CO): Came on in relief and was very effective when in the strike zone, showing lots of movement on his fastball that touched 83 MPH and worked 78-82 MPH.
