Batting Practice Highlights
8/12/2015
Cole Turney (2017 OF, Richmond, TX) hit a home run on the first batting practice pitch he saw, which is far more rare than one would think, and later hit the longest blast of the day, a towering shot into the netting in front of the USD dormitory beyond the 385 foot sign in right centerfield. The left handed hitter can mash.
Ryan Vilade (2017 SS, Frisco, TX) is a physical 6-2/188 shortstop who will bring big offense to the middle of the field if he can stay at a premium position defensively. He can drive the ball out of the park to all fields.
Ronald Washington (2017 OF, Houston, TX) can make a ball park look small at times with his huge power. He's at his best when he's working towards the middle of the field and not just looking to pull and lift the ball.
Chase Sanguinetti (2018 1B, Tampa, FL) is one of the rare 2018's here but he's been committed to Florida State since he was in eighth grade due to his bat speed and very aggressive approach at the plate.
Brady McConnell (2017 SS, Merritt Island, FL) is a young looking 6-1/160 middle infielder who already has nice bat speed from the right side that's just going to keep getting better as he gets stronger.
Conner Uselton (2017 OF, Oklahoma City, OK) has an outstanding 6-3/185 build that projects very well and lots of present bat speed and power. He hits tall and from above the ball and has great leverage at contact.
Jake Meyer (2017 C, Scottsdale, AZ) has a loose and long projectable build for a young catcher, with a equally loose right handed swing that consistently drove the ball hard to left centerfield.
Jacob Blas (2017 SS, Carlsbad, CA) looked good in all aspects of the game and impressed with his fundamentally very sound swing approach, fast hands and consistent mid-field line drive contact.
RJ Teijeiro (2017 3B, Foster City, CA) is going to be a strong young man when he matures and is already strong enough to drive the ball with loud impact and some lift.
Jayson Gonzalez (2017 SS/3B, Covina, CA) may be the strongest player at the event with a 6-2/210 build and uses that strength well with a short and simple swing approach that maximizes hard and loud line drive contact.
Royce Lewis (2017 SS, San Juan Capistrano, CA) is one of the best overalll athletes in the 2017 class but stands out because he's also one of the best hitters. He has very quick hands and a well balanced approach that drives the ball hard to all fields.
Omar Veloz (2017 C, Los Angeles , CA) has a very simple and short swing that maximizes consistent square contact and should translate well to the next level of the game, especially with the strength he already has.
Calvin Mitchell (2017 OF, San Diego, CA) is another hitter who hits calm with a simple and repeatable swing that is always well timed. He has big left handed power potential and impacts the ball loudly.
Jacob Pearson (2017 OF, West Monroe, LA) is a very quick twitch athlete who also has the present strength and bat speed to drive the ball up the gaps. There are lots of doubles and triples in his future.
Francis Villaman (2017 SS, Orlando, FL) might outgrow shortstop eventually from his present 6-1/194 but his bat will play at any position on the field. He's strong and athletic with easy plus bat speed.
Tristan Capocci (2017 SS, Villa Rica, GA) showed one of the shortest and most direct swings of the session and really uses his quick hands well to direct and drive the barrel.
Joe Lancellotti (2017 RHP, Bensalem, PA) gets the unofficial award as the best hitting primary pitcher of the day, with a whippy right handed swing that has big power potential. The North Carolina commit is also a low 90's thrower off the mound.
Bryson Hutchinson (2017 1B, Port Orange, FL) will command the attention of the pitcher with his massive 6-6/230 build and will mash pitches over the plate into whatever is beyond a left field fence frequently, such as he did with the trees at USD.
