Darion Jacoby (2017 OF, Pottsville, PA) and Jacob Steinberg (2018 SS, Germantown, MD) both had solid at-bats and fouled off tough pitches before barreling up balls for base hits. Jacoby had an extended battle with Dalton Terrell (2017 RHP, Jacksonville, FL) and after fouling off numerous pitches, squared up a ball and hit a line drive that richocheted off of the second baseman’s glove.
Steinberg also worked the count and fouled off a few pitches before turning on a fastball in the inner half and driving a double down the left field line.
Zachary DeLoach (2017 RHP, Lewisville, TX) did a solid job of mixing in four pitches and struck out five in two innings of work. His fastball sat in the 83-85 mph range early, and his changeup, curveball, and upper-70s slider were all effective secondary pitches.
Angel Tiburcio (2018 RHP, Wellington, FL) showed some good tailing action and late life on his 82-85 mph fastball. He struck out three batters in his two innings and got a handful of whiffs on the offering.
Austin Perrin (2017 LHP, Boutte, LA) pounded the strike zone in his two innings. He was very aggressive and challenged hitters with his solid three pitch mix, showing feel for a curveball with a 1/7 shape and good depth and a fading changeup that he located well in the bottom half of the strike zone.
Cooper Swanson (2017 SS, Fort Myers, FL) again showed off bat speed and solid feel for the barrel in driving a single to right center field on a fastball out the outer third.
Joe Lancellotti (2017 OF, Bensalem, PA) struck out four batters over two innings. He displayed an impressive fastball that sat in 89-92 mph range with late life and also worked in a solid mid-70’s curveball with 11/5 shape that flashed good depth and late bite.
Xavier Edwards (2018 SS, Wellington, FL) showcased his good foot speed, getting down to first base in 3.8 seconds on a jailbreak bunt.
Michael Pelaez (2017 1B, Tampa, FL) has a large frame and physical build. He is a primary 1B, but showed some arm strength on the mound, working with an 85-89 mph that comes out clean and easy from his compact arm-action.
