Alec Trela (2016 SS, Bloomington, IL) might outgrow shortstop with his 6-foot-3, 205-pound build but his bat should play anywhere. He peppered the Green Monster in left field with regularity the entire round with very consistent hard line drive contact.
Ricardo Gonzalez (2016 SS, Boca Raton, FL) has quick hands at the plate and stays balanced and directional in his approach, always a sound formula for hard contact. He took a very solid round and looks like a high average young hitter.
Spencer Taylor (2016 OF, Sorrento, FL) had one of the most consistent and repeatable swings we saw all day. He's short to the ball, hits thru it with some bat speed and pretty much squared up everything.
Zach Gibbs (2017 C, Wentzville, MO) has a particular hitting style that the PG scouting staff has dubbed "The SoCal Glide" because it is common on the West Coast but much less so across the country. Gibbs has that big balanced shift into contact and times it well. He's strong and drove the gaps hard from the right side.
Alexander Stiegler (2016 RHP, Dallas, TX) was one of the best hitting primary pitchers we saw today, with a strong consistent swing that was short and impactful.
Damian Serralta (2016 3B, Miami Lakes, FL) has nice hand quickness from the right side with a good shift into contact. That usually results in bat speed that stands out.
William Wallace (2016 OF, Richmond Hill, GA) has very good present strength and an aggressive pull oriented right handed swing with very good extension and separation out front. His hands take a nice direct path to contact.
Alex Crotty (2016 C, Lake Mary, FL) is a rare switch-hitting catcher and one with a solid swing from both sides of the plate. We liked the right handed version better, as it was short and quick with some pop, but he was pretty good left handed as well.
Bryce Couch (2016 OF, Hamilton, OH) didn't stand out walking up to the plate with a young 5-foot-11, 170-pound build but he showed lots of unexpected strength in his swing. The ball really came off his barrel hard.
