He pounded the zone with and 85-87/88 fastball and mixed a swing and miss slider at 75.  His athleticism and feel for the game have really stood out.  He added a well struck triple to the right centerfield gap in this game.

Derek (DJ) Radtke (2021, RHP/1B, Marietta, GA) is a two-way player with very good upside.

Brady House (2021, SS, Winder, GA) continued to have a good day at the Jr National.  After a long HR in the first game, he hit a loud double to the left centerfield gap.  He then jumped on the mound and sat between 87-93/94 while landing a very good change up consistently. 

Aaron Calhoun (2021, RHP/OF, Pearland, TX) stays hot at the plate driving the ball the other way for a double.  His tools have really shown well this weekend.

Kelly Crumpton (2021, SS/RHP, Jackson, MS) took the mound in his last game today showing a fastball that sat 88-91 and showed the makings of a plus slider at 79-80.  Everything will tick up as he continues to add weight. 

Jaime Ferrer (2021, C, Orlando, FL) has continued to show his advanced hit tool as he hit another couple balls hard today.  The last was a hard line drive single that was very loud off bat.

Aaron Calhoun (2021, RHP/OF, Pearland, TX) has shown well all weekend with a fastball up to 90 mph and a top throw of 94 mph from the outfield. He stayed on the baseball well for a line drive single in game action and is a high-level uncommitted prospect.

Tyler Leroy (2021, C, Delran, NJ) showed elite arm strength behind the plate to second base, later dropping to a knee on a firm and accurate throw to third base.  There is a lot to like about the uncommitted catcher who has present strength and plenty of athleticism to stay behind the dish.

Elijah Lambros (2021, OF, Fredericksburg, VA) is uncommitted but has shown elite athleticism today. He is very fluid runner and tracked down balls in the gap at the center field position. He also hit a sharp single for an RBI in game action.  

Sean Smith (1B, 2021, Pascagoula, MS) is another uncommitted prospect who has stood out this weekend. He covered the plate well and struck a line drive down the right field line on a well located pitch. He has high level hitting potential as he develops. 

Christopher Bernal (2021, C, McAllen, TX) it is easy to see the all-around game of this uncommitted prospect. He has good catch and throw skills, shows leadership skills, and has barreled multiple balls this weekend including a muscled single today. 

Gavin Mez (2021, C, Las Vegas, NV) had a reputation of being a very good in game performer and has only solidified that this weekend.  Hitting from the left side, the uncommitted catcher had a hard opposite field single last night and followed it up by turning on a fastball today and driving into right field for a hit.  

Casey Artigues (2021, OF/SS, Hammond, LA) showing why he is looked at as an elite defender.  He made a diving play up the middle at shortstop and got a force at second base, then he ran a long way to make a diving catch in right field while playing outfield. He has a good all-around feel for the game. 

Andrew Painter (2021 RHP, Pompano Beach, FL) checks a lot of box immediately from his long and projectable frame to how smooth and fast his arm action is. He ran his fastball up to 94 mph which featured cut action from his release and showed comfort landing a mid-70s breaker for strikes as well.

Keegan Allen (2021 RHP, Rogers, AR) showed an up-tempo delivery with a fast arm through the back while creating some plane. He ran his fastball up to 90 mph and tunneled the changeup very well, showing late fading life down in the zone.

Riley Stanford (2022 OF, Gainesville, GA) lived mostly in the upper-80s with his fastball, bumping as high as 91 mph during his time on the mound. There’s plenty of arm speed through the back and he also flashed a slider up to 76 mph within the zone.

Michael Braswell (2021 SS, Mableton, GA) is a South Carolina commit and well known for his two-way prowess. Today he showed a good feel for the strike zone working a walk and followed it up with a line drive to center field.

Jay Woolfolk (2021 RHP, Midlothian, VA) jumped on the mound for the Purple team and the uncommitted righthander ran his fastball up to 92 mph early in the contest. He filled the zone and showed the ability to miss bats while mixing in a slider up to 83 mph with tight rotation.

Samuel Dutton (2021 RHP, Southside, AL) performed very well on the mound in this look once again, running his fastball up to 90 mph while pounding the zone.

Andrew Woods (2022 RHP, Monroe, LA) has the frame to dream on physically with plenty of projection though there’s already enough at present to like as he topped out at 91 mph with his fastball. He worked on top well and mixed in a tight slider in the upper-70s as well. 

Christian Little (2021 RHP, St. Louis, MO) showed big stuff with a fastball up to 93 and a curveball that showed plus at 76 mph, still projecting physically while showing athleticism. He is committed to Vanderbilt.

Jack O'Connor (2022 RHP, Arlington, VA), a Virginia commit, is a strong bodied righthander who ran his fastball up to 89 mph with some sinking life to it. He also mixed in a sharp breaking ball in the mid-70s for strikes and projects for more moving forward.

Cody Howard (2021 RHP, Conroe, TX) came out and filled the strike zone on the mound for Gray, running his fastball up to 89 mph while showing a quick arm and physical projection. He was able to create cut on the pitch at times and showed a short, tight slider with a replicated release.

Kade Grundy (2021 RHP, Somerset, KY) showed impressive arm strength on the mound yesterday and today showed that strength with the bat. In his first trip to the plate he barreled the second pitch he saw, an outer half fastball, to the opposite field gap for a standup triple, showing both extension and strength at the point of contact with quickness on the bases.

Lauden Brooks (2021 SS, Cincinnati, OH) showed well on both sides of the ball as the young Kentucky commit made a nice play on the charge at shortstop, picking the ball mid-stride while throwing a strike across. He followed up the defensive pay with a hard line drive single back up the middle in the next half inning.

Drake Donahoe (2021 RHP, Omaha, NE) has a strong frame and after swinging it well he jumped to his primary position on the mound where he made quick work of his three innings. With a short arm stroke he was able to fill up the strike zone and topped out at 85 mph while mixing both a curveball and changeup throughout.

Jonathan Vastine (2021 SS, Bartow, FL) put a nice swing on the ball during his first at-bat of the game from the left side, spoiling a couple tough pitches before barreling an outer half fastball through the six-hole for a line drive single. 

Neither Jonathan Santucci (2021 OF, Leominster, MA) nor Santino Rao (2021 1B, Orlando, FL) are committed yet at this point though that could change pretty quickly. Both are lefthanded bats and though neither actually picked up a base hit, both stung the ball to the opposite field showing hard contact off the barrel and comfort in executing.

Shea McGahan (2021 C, St. Louis, MO) showed a nice approach at the plate in his first at-bat, spoiling a couple of pitches on the outer half with two strikes before pulling his hands in on an inner half curveball for a double down the left field line.

Deric Fabian (2021 SS, Ocala, FL) showed off his athleticism defensively at second base, making a couple of impressive plays over the first few innings. The first was a diving play off a deflection of the first baseman’s glove in which he nearly got the runner before showing nice footwork around the second base bag to finish a double play. He also picked up a single through the six-hole.

Jackson Baumeister (2021 C, Jacksonville, FL) continued to impress defensively thanks to a strong throwing arm from behind the plate. In his first at-bat of the game he showed well with the bat, driving a ball to the opposite field gap for a two-base hit.

Sullivan Brackin (2022 RHP, Jacksonville, FL) jumped on the mound and showed off his arm strength, running his fastball up to 89 mph for the best fastball of the game. He did a nice job of filling up the strike zone with the heater, missing bats while mixing in a short slider up to 76 mph. He also showed his two-way potential with a couple of base knocks offensively.

Jackson Mayo (2021 OF, St. Johns, FL) is a young lefthanded bat to follow moving forward as he develops physically though he already shows quick hands with the ability to whip the barrel through the zone just as he did with a hard line drive 1B past the first baseman. 

Grant Taylor (2021 RHP, Florence, AL) did an excellent job of filling the strike zone with a firm fastball that sat 87-90 mph and really got on hitters. He creates big extension but the mid-70s slider proved to be a big difference maker as he was able to miss bats with it consistently.

Carson Kelly (2021 RHP, Sanford, NC) was sharp during his outing on the mound, changing his looks by dropping his arm slot while still maintaining mid-80s on his fastball. He topped out at 87 mph from his higher release point and mixed in a nice slider with late tilting life through the zone.

Jonathan Santucci (2021 OF, Leominster, MA) and Harrison Owen (2021 C, Aliso Viejo, CA) got the offense started for the Gray team in the second inning.

Austin Younce (2021 C, Chesapeake, VA) got an elevated 88 mph fastball up in the zone and he certainly didn’t miss, sending the pitch deep to the left-center field gap for the first extra hit of the game, a triple.

Brady Garcia (2021 LHP, Spanish Fort, AL) proved to be an uncomfortable look during his time on the mound, missing plenty of bats while filling the strike zone. He worked primarily off of a fastball that topped out at 85 mph and mixed in a breaking ball as well.

Colton Sims (2022 3B, Russellville, AR) made the defensive play of the game with a fully extended dive to his backhand at third base, quickly sprung to his feet and delivered a strike on to first to get the runner by a step.

Rocko Brzezniak (2022 1B, Matawan, NJ) lined a pitch back up the middle after spoiling numerous pitches on the outer half, plating a run for the Gray team while showing the strength in his hands.

Kruise Newman (2021 RHP, Richmond, KY)continued to impress after showing his arm strength from the outfield and taking a loud round of batting practice. On the mound during live actions Newman ran his fastball up to 91 mph, showing a fast arm and a feel for his secondaries.

Lucas Torres (2021 OF, Cayey, PR) showed he wasn’t fazed by big velocity as he turned around a 91 mph fastball to the pull side gap for a standup triple, generating big jump off of his barrel.

Jace Jones (2021 RHP, Ft Myers, FL) is an interesting and projectable righthander who showed plenty to like present day. With a quick and short arm action he ran his fastball up to 87 mph with sinking life, inducing weak ground ball contact while showing a curveball with 11-5 shape at 72 mph.

Philip Abner (2021 LHP, Charlotte, NC) came out and countered Jones with an impressive arsenal of his own as the physically built lefthander ran his fastball up to 92 mph. He creates tough angle on his fastball and mixed in a hard slider as well while living down in the zone throughout.

Eduardo Garza (2021 3B, Rio Grande City, TX) got the offense started for the Maroon team, pulling his hands in to line a single over the head of the shortstop before coming around to score the first run of the game. Later in the game he lined another single, this time up the middle to plate another run.

Heriberto Emmanuel Garza (2021 C, Rio Grande, TX) had a nice day of his own, going 1-for-2 with a hard line drive single, twice finding the barrel while handling his pitchers well behind the plate with sound receiving skills.

Black pulled even quickly though as Matthew Russo (2021 3B, Madisonville, LA) took an 84 mph fastball over the 330’ mark down the right field line for a no doubt solo home run that was stuck well off the barrel.

Brogan Napier (2021 3B, Saint Augustine, FL) showed the juice in his righthanded swing during the first at-bat of the day, taking a ball to deep center field for a three base hit which plated three runs and showed plenty of jump off the barrel.

Brodie Chestnutt (2021 RHP, Fitzgerald, GA) was impressive in his three innings of work, running his fastball up to 91 mph while working comfortably in the upper-80s. He did a nice job of sinking the ball to induce weak contact and showed tight rotation to his slider up to 78 mph with short tilt.

Jackson Baumeister (2021 C, Jacksonville, FL) showed off his arm strength all over the field, first by throwing out a runner at third base by a couple of steps before delivery an absolute strike to home plate from left field on a bang-bang play. In his second at-bat of the game he pulled his hands in on a fastball and shot a single past the shortstop.

Kendall Diggs (2021 3B, Olathe, KS) did a nice job of going with an elevated 88 mph fastball on the outer half down the opposite field for a double the half inning after starting a 5-4-3 double play prior with a diving stop to his left.

Seth Carter (2021 RHP, Ocean Springs, MS) and Seaver Sheets (2021 SS, Monroe, LA) closed out the game for either of their teams, respectively.
