Lincoln Memorial
Judd showed that he could do a little bit of everything this past weekend. The long, lean and athletic primary outfielder runs well and has a strong arm in the outfield. His arm strength plays well on the mound, where he works in the low-80s and shows an ability to throw quality strikes.
Ryan Layne
SS - 2016 - Nicholasville, KY
Uncommitted
The uncommitted Layne is just an all-around solid baseball player. The primary shortstop is a good athlete and was clocked at 6.60 seconds in the 60-yard dash. He also took one of the better batting practices of the event, showing above-average bat speed and solid pop from the left side. In the infield Layne has good actions, a quick release, and solid arm strength, registering as high as 90 mph on throws across the diamond in defensive drills.
Langston Watkins
OF - 2016 - Louisville, KY
Florence-Darlington Technical College
Watkins turned a lot of heads in the workouts when he ran the 60-yard dash in an incredible 6.29 seconds. After he was asked to run again, he proved that both the lasers and stopwatches were not malfunctioning as the outfielder turned in a similarly blazing 6.33 second time. Obviously full of quick twitch athleticism, Watkins also shows impressive defensive chops in center field and developing feel for the barrel at the plate.
Luke Lalumia
OF - 2016 - Eagle, MI
Uncommitted

Brandon Hauswald
SS - 2016 - Jackson, TN
Trevecca Nazarene University
Hauswald fits the prototypical gamer mold. The 5-foot-9, 170 pound switch-hitting middle infielder is a solid overall athlete but his feel for the game, grit, and approach help his tools to play up in game action. With a compact, efficient path to the ball from both sides of the ball, Hauswald figures to be a quality hitter at the next level.
Logan McCall
RHP - 2016 - St. Charles, MO
Harding
The 6-foot-2, 203 pound righty has a nice, solid pitcher’s frame with a nice arm-action and solid delivery. With solid command of a fastball up to 84 mph and some developing feel for his upper-60s curveball and mid-70s changeup, McCall was one of the more polished pitchers at the event.
Matthew Miller
3B - 2016 - Hagerhill, KY
Volunteer State CC

At the plate the 6-foot-1, 200 pound right handed hitter shows flashes of his big strength, generating good carry and jump to the pullside.
Joe Faulkner
OF - 2016 - Tazewell, TN
Lincoln Memorial
Faulkner is a fun player to watch as he plays with an energy and passion that is noticeable immediately.

Keegan Snowbarger
OF - 2016 - Louisville, KY
Baldwin-Wallace College
Perhaps the most consistent batting practice round of the showcase belonged to Keegan Snowbarger. The 5-foot-11, 205 righthanded hitter showed good balance from his wide base and displayed solid hand quickness, bat speed, and barrel utility in working the entire field and peppering the outfield gaps with solid line drives.
Austin Shepherd
RHP - 2017 - Lexington, KY
Eastern Kentucky
Shepherd is a solid overall athlete that has two-way potential, but with a fastball that already touches 85 and consistently plays in the low-80s, his future may lie on the mound. Aside from the solid velocity, Shepherd showed the ability to command his fastball well and also mix in a curveball, slider, and changeup.
Jack Phillips
RHP - 2017 - Fishers, IN
Northern Illinois
Another talented arm in the class of 2017, Phillips ran his fastball up to 83 mph this past weekend. With a projectable 6-foot-4, 185 pound frame it is easy to see more velocity coming in the next few years and he also showed solid feel for his low-70s curveball and mid-70s changeup.

Casey Maniglia
RHP - 2018 - Solon, OH
North Carolina
Maniglia is a good athlete and he has a looseness and ease to his actions that is rather rare for a player of his age group and school class. The 6-foot-1, 185 pound righty ran his fastball up to 88 mph and sat consistently in the 83-86 mph range, and he also displayed developing feel for his breaking ball and a changeup, which should serve him well in his future development.
Tate Meade
RHP - 2018 - Williamsport, KY
Kentucky Wesleyan
Meade has an aggressive demeanor and approach on the mound. The 5-foot-11, 180 pound righty did a good job of attacking the strike zone early and often with his a low-80s fastball and a curveball that flashes good depth and late break. With some deception in his delivery and some wiggle on his fastball, there are plenty of tools for Meade to work with in the coming years.
James Dupree
RHP - 2018 - Lexington, KY
Uncommitted
Dupree is has a sturdy, strong 6-foot-3, 190 pound frame. As he continues to mature and gain invaluable experience he should continue to add velocity and sharpen his already impressive arsenal, which consists of a fastball up to 83 mph and a 72 mph curveball.
