Will Watson OF/1B ('26,SC) • View Player Profile
Tall and athletic hitter, Watson’s quick hands and bat speed were on display. EV topped 98, ripping hard hit barrels in his BP round. Keeps his body in the hitting position, staying on the back side and keeping the barrel in the zone. Uncommitted at this time

Johnny Collins UTIL/RHP (‘26,SC) • View Player Profile
Uncommitted 2-way players, Collins showcased well both at the plate and on the mound. At the plate he has a smooth swing, staying back and showing the ability to drive the ball to all fields. EV topped 96. Collins also has good feel on the mound, his FB running up to 85 and his CH at 78. Good feel for the CB, hovering around 71.

Bryan Puello SS (‘26,FL) • View Player Profile
Strong and athletic shortstop, Puello impressed all afternoon. In the box he has good body control but is still an aggressive hitter, staying back and unloading barrels. EV topped at 97. He has good hands at SS, projectable frame with room to grow defensively. Uncommitted at this time

Jackson Ownbey 1B/RHP (‘27,SC) • View Player Profile
Strongly built uncommitted kid out of South Carolina who put out a good showing. His abilities were best showcased at the plate and on the mound. In the box he was lining the ball all over the outfield topping at an EV of 92. Putting a foot to the rubber, he was able to whip some fastballs at 84 while spinning a CV at 70.

Brayden Habuda INF (‘26,FL) • View Player Profile
A L/R combo suave MIF that brought the power. Brayden has good size for a 16 yr old and should only get more power as he gets older. Topped at a 94 EV off the bat and put some power behind his throws from SS touching 79. More INF to follow w/maturity.

Jake DiMartino C (‘26,SC) • View Player Profile
An all-around solid player who has room to grow. He has a smooth right handed swing that produced a top EV of 90. Behind the dish, he was able to show off a best pop time of 2.0 which is respectable. He has immense room to get better at that given his throwing velo only touched 72 on the throw. At the end of the day, he had the ability to showcase his soft hands while catching in the bullpen.

Brayden Bound OF (‘26,AL) • View Player Profile
Bound had a great day today, showing off his quick speed running a 6.87 60 yard dash. Has a great jump and hustles hard. The uncommitted OF showed off his power at the plate with a 98 EV. Quick hands and smooth lefty swing with tons of power.

Reid Johnson C (‘26,NC) • View Player Profile

Johnson had the 2nd quickest pop time today posting a 1.97 pop time. The uncommitted catcher showed athletic footwork and raw arm strength to 2nd. Great day from Johnson showing of his tools from behind the plate.

Will Downing 3B/RHP (‘27,GA) • View Player Profile
Downing showed on both at the plate and on the mound today. He recorded the highest EV of the event at 99 MPH. On the mound he ran the FB up to 86 w/ a 3 pitch mix. The BB was 74 and the CH was 78. A physical build as he is only a riding sophmore.

Parker Williams SS/RHP (‘26,GA) • View Player Profile
The uncommitted SS put up some good numbers in this one. On the mound he topped at 85 MPH w/ the FB. He has an athletic and fluid motion. At the plate he showed a good LC approach in BP. Barreling baseballs w/ a top EV of 90.

Alex Gonzalez RHP (‘25,VA) • View Player Profile
Gonzalez stole the show on the mound. He came in w/ electric stuff. The FB was up to 90 w/ sink and ASR. He also had a good SL and CH. The SL was spinning at 2800 RPM w/ sharp, late break. The CH had good late fade as well. The low 3/4 arm slot plays perfect w/ his pitch arsenal. Appears to be more in the tank as the effort level was not too high. Looking forward to seeing where this player ends up at the next level.

Walter Sholar C (‘26,GA) • View Player Profile
Sholar had an impressive day showing off his skills from everywhere today. The catcher had some of the top velocity throws to 2nd among catches with an 80 C Velo, and also displayed the quickness within his release and transition from glove to hand with a 2.01 pop time. He also presented his strength, making consistent barreled contact with even a top 96 exit velo, as well as a pitcher topping his fastball at 87 with the mix of a CH/CRV.

Brody Whitman OF (‘26,GA) • View Player Profile
The OF had an exciting day, displaying his speed and arm strength in the field, posted a 7.14 60 YD with a strong arm from the outfield, and made accurate throws from a distance. With present power, Brody has a compact swing, an excellent, well-timed step, and drives through the ball with hard contact; they had power off the bat up to 95 EV on the day.

Anthony Meady 1B/RHP (‘26,FL) • View Player Profile
The R/R 1B and RHP Meady has a taller frame, shows impressive strength able to reach top speeds with his arm ability. RHH generates a lot of power behind the ball, barreling line drives into the outfield, and even posted exit velocity up to 95 off the bat which was some of the top EVs among hitters today. Pitching looked exceptional able to throws speeds topping at 87 with his fastball, and varied his CH at 77 and CRV at 73 while looking precise with his location and delivery.
