Kevin Brophy got things going right away for the Texas Orange team as he got fully extended in his left-handed swing on the first pitch of the game, lining a 91 mph fastball into the left-center field gap for a standup triple.
Daniel Rivero did a nice job of working downhill with his fastball, sitting in the 87-89 mph with his fastball while peaking at 90 with the pitch. He showed a nice overall feel on the mound and kept hitters off balance with a three-pitch mix, including a curveball at 75 mph and a changeup up to 79 mph.
D.J. Roberts has a strong 6-foot-2, 218-pound frame and came out showing nice stuff during his two innings on the mound. Showing a fast and loose arm through the backside, the South Florida commit ran his fastball up to 92 mph, sitting in the 89-91 mph range with his fastball. His slider showed short bite up to 81 mph and also flashed a changeup at 78 mph.
Cameron Cannon showed off his prowess at shortstop early in the first game, ranging well to his right and into the 5-6 hole, making a throw across his body while his body was taking him away from the bag.
Colton Rendon, currently uncommitted, struck out two in his two innings of work and held his fastball velocity well throughout. Sitting in the 87-89 mph, Rendon showed a full arm action through the backside with nice running life on the pitch.
Robert Peto is a University of North Carolina commit who came out showing projectable stuff on the mound. Listed at 6-foot-4, Peto ran his fastball up to 90 mph and showed late and heavy life on the pitch, inducing steady ground ball contact. With a clean arm action coming through the backside, the New Jersey native also showed nice depth on his breaking ball up to 80 mph.
Drew Parrish worked a very quick and efficient two innings on the mound as the Florida State commit struck out three during his outing. Working with a fastball in the 86-88 mph range, Parrish hides the ball very well through the backside and spot it down to either side. He also showed a strong feel for his 1-7 curveball with depth at 72 mph and flashed a changeup at 79 mph.
Andrew Belcik is a strong 6-foot-2, 215-pound right-hander from Florida who came out mixing his fastball and curveball very well, missing bats in the process. With a fastball up to 91 mph, Belcik was able to work downhill with his fastball, coming out of his hand easily while maintaining his slot on a sharp 12-6 curveball with late bite.
Brad Demco showed off his quick hands in his right-handed swing as he turned on an inner half fastball that showed running life in, turning on the ball for a hard ground ball single down the line.
Jack Khawly, an uncommitted third baseman out of Florida, hit the hardest ball of the game coming off the bat very loudly with hard line drive triple to dead center field.
Jonathan Worley is a tall and projectable right-hander from California who ran his fastball up to 91 mph in his first of two innings on the mound. Committed to San Diego, Worley showed off a nice feel for a three-pitch mix, each with life and ability to get down in the zone.
Nick Long has interesting two-way potential as he plays a solid shortstop and can swing it from the right side. A primary right-handed pitcher and University of Florida commit Long showed an easy arm action that produced a fastball up to 90 mph with life down in the zone. The arm is loose and easy to project more velocity on the way while showing sharp curveball up to 76 mph with nice depth on it.
