Batting Practice Rounds
To rank this class in BP would be almost impossible. Jake Cave impressed as he always does with his plus bat speed, Nick Thompson showed the best swing in the whole camp out of 100 players as far as using his hands and staying inside the baseball. Tyler Long had some serious bat speed! There were several others who had some positive attributes with the stick:
Jake Cave - As always Jake was a pleasure to watch swing the bat. Big power from left side and hands are as quick as they come at the high school level.
Nick Thompson - Nick sprayed the ball all over the yard, with a lot of pop. Nick has filled out and his approach is great at the plate. He really will make some noise in 2010.
Tyler Long - All the coaching staff could say about Long on Sunday was "WOW!" 91 MPH from the outfield, 88 MPH on the Bump! Freakish Bat Speed in BP. What a prospect this guy is. He has really developed. Remember the name Tyler Long that will be a big name this summer/fall!
Cam Capell - Cam has some power in his bat from the left side with 15 JACKS in his High School season (and a month left). WOW! Great left handed hitter that is hard to strikeout. Capell was 84 MPH from Outfield and was 2.01 POP time from behind the dish. He can do a little bit of everything!
Tee McConnell - Great hands at the plate with a big, strong lower half. Stays on the ball and doesn't fly open. Tee was 85 MPH across diamond on Sunday in Infield. His actions were clean. Great athlete that has a lot of tools on the baseball field!
Bradley Strong - Bradley had a nice day at the yard. He ran well, he showed well in the field with his glove and arm. Strong swung the bat well from the left side. Nice compact stroke. Barrel finds the ball.
Alex Newman - Newman has only one speed on the baseball field and that's FULL SPEED! Newman ran the fastest 60 time in 2011 class at 6.68. He can go get it in the Outfield. He swung it well in bp and his hands are very quick with some pop in his bat. He can steal bases and really patrol the outfield. Definite next level prospect!
Brandon Delk - Delk has some moving parts in his swing but man does he ever have some quick hands. When he hits it comes off really really hot. He ran really well (6.7) and is mid 80's on bump with some run and funk. Delk has really turned into quite the college prospect. This is a good 2 way get for someone! Delk chunked a couple 87 mph throws from the outfield!
Dakari Cooke - Cooke had a nice day at the yard he ran a 6.8, threw 85 mph from the outfield and swung the bat well from the left side. Dakari has a very mechanical swing and doesn't get fooled often and is a very smart baseball player. Over a 4.0 GPA. Great family and great make up!
Bennett Hixson - Bennett showed some good arm strength from the outfield and ran a 7.1, which is an improvement. He has good actions in the infield. His pop time from behind the dish was 2.01 and his bat speed has increased a lot in the last year. Hixson is also upper 80's on mound. He does a lot of things well. Definite prospect in several ways!
Grant Cain - Cain hit some tape measure bombs in BP and was 83 MPH of bump. He is a prospect swinging the stick as an offensive 1B and has a shot on mound.
