Jackson Marchetti (2025 SS, Hartford, CT) got the barrel out on an outside fastball, slicing a ball down the line for a stand-up double to the opposite field. Used good bat control and a feel for the zone to get an extra base knock off of a tough arm. 

 

Vito Mannino (2025 3B, Bellmore, NY) produced a hard-hit barrel to the wall in RCF, cruising into second with an easy two-base hit. Used a strong barrel to go the other way with some authority. 

 

Jimmy Nichols (2025 OF, Hazlet, NJ) launched a hard-hit barrel over the center fielder’s head for an easy standup double. Went and got a hitter’s pitch, sending a high fly ball back up the middle.

1-Grey vs. 2-Orange Game Highlights

8/25/2024

John Parpis (2025 RHP, Commack, NY) turned in three quality innings of work, striking out four batters without allowing a hit. The 6-foot-3 right-hander went right after hitters with his fastball, which played up with short arm-side run. His heater ultimately peaked at 84 mph and was paired with a slider that successfully mistimed opposing barrels.

 

Louis (LJ) Renshaw (2025 C, Oakland, NJ) barreled up a fastball early on in the first inning and drove it into the right-center gap for a double. The 5-foot-8 right-handed batter remains loose and under control in the box before delivering a strong barrel at impact. He showcased impressive strength from gap to gap with the ability to create easy backspin at impact.

 

Mateo Schachner (2026 C, Brooklyn, NY) put his range and athleticism on display in the outfield, tracking down a long fly ball at the warning track in left field. The 5-foot-8 outfielder gets a good first step on the baseball, taking a quick and efficient route to it.

 

Roberto Valdes Jr (2025 SS, Bay Shore, NY) Jr. flashed the leather at shortstop, making a leaping grab to end the inning. The 6-foot-2 infielder covers a ton of ground in the dirt and makes the difficult plays appear routine.

 

Mason Miles (2026 3B, Amagansett, NY) turned on a fastball in the third inning and drove it into the left-center gap for a double. The 6-foot-2 190-pound right-handed batter controls the barrel extremely well throughout the strike zone and impacts the baseball with easy strength from gap to gap.

 

Jake Ostertag (2027 OF, Babylon, NY) put together a dominant two innings of work, striking out four batters while failing to allow a hit. The 6-foot-2 right-hander filled up all four quadrants of the strike zone with his fastball, which sat in the 84-85 mph range and ultimately peaked at 88. He also kept hitters off-balance with his mid-70s slurvy breaking ball, which was sequenced in effectively.

Batting Practice Highlights

8/24/2024

Roberto Valdes Jr (2025 SS, Bay Shore, NY) put together a low effort round with easy impact gap to gap displayed. The athletic 6-foot-2, 175 pound prospect did a nice job of generating leverage out in front with solid barrel control flashed.

Cash Millsom (2027 SS, Bronxville, NY) generated evident bat speed through the zone producing solid impact to all parts of the field.

John Parpis (2025 RHP, Commack, NY) was able to create carry production to both gaps during his round with intent to generate lift in the bat path and drive the ball in the air. 

Vito Mannino (2025 3B, Bellmore, NY) went yard multiple times throughout his round with dangerous power potential to the pull side of the field. The uncommitted 6-foot-1, 180 pound righty did a nice job of incorporating the lower half with evident hip torque displayed.

Tripp Beasley (2025 SS, Greenwich, CT) certainly didn't get cheated on swings, going yard to CF at the end of his round flashing easy power production to the deepest part of the park. The Villanova commit has multiple tools at his disposal and showcases effortless bat speed through the zone.

Christian Balkcom (2025 OF, Wheatley Heights, NY) flashed clear strength in the hands immediately, driving baseballs the opposite way with carry and backspin. The 6-foot-1, 190 pound righty repeated the stroke well and did a nice job of covering the zone during his round.
