Christian Bullock (2016 OF, Chicago, IL) still has lots of time to get stronger but he has the base swing mechanics to be a very good left handed hitter.  He hits from on top of the ball with simple and direct mechanics and owned the right centerfield gap.

Mason Templet (2016 3B, Youngsville, LA) is limited by a knee injury but had no problem handling the bat in BP.  He has an outstanding athletic build with a quick hands and excellent raw bat speed.

Jack Khawly (2016 3B, Southwest Ranches, FL) just missed blasting a home run in the game preceding BP and continued to show big power in BP itself, wearing out the LCF wall with hard contact.

Nick Long (2016 RHP, Sarasota, FL) has transitioned from a primary shortstop to a primary pitcher over the past year but showed he can still swing the bat.  He has very good bat speed with good extension and took one pitch over the wall in left.

Tyler Musselwhite (2016 SS, Lumberton, NC) packs plenty of strength into his 5-9/160 build and has explosive hands at contact.

Mitchell Golden (2016 SS, Marietta, GA) is another medium sized middle infielder at 5-10/175 who can swing the bat with authority.  Golden is a switch-hitter with similar ability from both sides of the plate and especially quick hands.

Ryan Reynolds (2016 2B, Monroe, LA) is also a switch-hitter but with a different approach than Golden.  He's a big and strong 6-2 athlete with power and lift from both sides of the plate.
 
Gavin Lux (2016 SS, Kenosha, WI) is a quick twitch athlete who uses his quick hands to create lots of left handed bat speed from the left side.  He did his best work pulling and to RCF after settling down his timing.

Mickey Moniak (2016 OF, Encinitas, CA) might have the best "Hit" tool in the 2016 class.  The left handed hitter has the ability to make hard contact to all fields, with some real power to the pull side, and worked the ball evenly around the field in BP like a windshield wiper going back and forth.

Blake Sabol (2016 C, Aliso Niguel, CA) has really put on lots of strength over the last year and really swung the bat with authority and bat speed.

Nicholas Quintana (2016 SS, Las Vegas, NV) will have to shorten up his right handed swing at the next level but he has big raw bat speed, extension and power potential, especially from a talented defensive middle infielder.
 
Ryan McHale (2016 1B, Las Vegas, NV) is Quintana's teammate at Arbor View HS in Las Vegas and has prospect hitting tools as well.  His right handed swing approach is very simple and direct in its execution and he has lots of strength in his 6-3/220 build.
 
Aaron Pilkington (2016 C, Charlotte, NC) showed some big right handed power during his round, lifting two balls over the Monster and consistently hitting hard top spin line drives to the pull side.
