Beamon is a switch hitting MIF that played well above his age. Defensively he made all the plays in the game showing great range, and threw 85 across the infield in workouts. Top of the order type guy that sprays the ball all over the field. Beamon will be a pest for pitchers to get out for years to come.
Justin Jarvis
RHP - 2018 - Mooresville, NC
UNC-Wilmington
Jarvis stands 6’ while weighing in at 135 there is plenty of room to fill. His fastball reached 79, and he attacked hitters with a tight spinning 74 slider. Long arm action that helps his low 70’s changeup remain deceptive. Jarvis has a high upside.
