Chris Shepherd (2018 C, Durham, NC) showed intriguing power potential to the pull side during the round. He showed the ability to get extended out in front and flashed good bat speed when turning the barrel over to pull the ball.
Ethan Foley (2018 2B, Canton, GA) worked with a simple, consistent, and repeatable swing. The trigger into the swing is both easy and simple, while he took a direct path to contact that correlated with line drive contact to the pull side and up the middle of the field.
Ahmad Ali's (2018 RHP, Fayetteville, GA) approach at the plate put his hands in a good launch position as he looked to drive the ball hard to the pull side. Ali looks to elevate the ball into the air and plays well for power to the pull side of the field.
Wynston Dyer (2018 1B, Columbia, SC) showed a lot of juice in his swing from the left side. With a physical 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame, Dyer generates good bat speed and is able to get on top of the ball well to create extremely hard hit line drives to the pull side.
Andrew Vladyka (2018 C, Jacksonville, NC) has a good amount of strength to the frame that translated to consistent hard hit contact to the pull side. Vladyka showed looseness to his hands and path and did a good job at getting the bat head out in front for loud contact.
