Mitchell Parker (2018 LHP, Albuquerque, NM) threw from an over the top arm slot and had a very long arm action. Parker generates good plane on the fastball and showed the ability to manipulate the pitch to get cut on it. The New Mexico commit mixed in a soft breaking ball as well.
Jordan Groshans (2018 SS, Magnolia, TX) has continued his hot hitting with a massive home run over the wall in left field. The excellent bat speed and raw power has played extremely well thus far and he wore out the left field wall during BP.
Gunnar Hoglund (2018 RHP, Hudson, FL) was effective at throwing strikes and getting a ton of swings and misses on the fastball. The pitch sat 89-92 and he used a quick and compact delivery.
Carter Stewart (2018 RHP, Melbourne, FL) showed one of the best curveballs of the day and the pitch was up to 82 mph with incredible depth and sharpness. The Mississippi State commit is very long with a loose, clean arm and worked 90-92 with his fastball.
Garrett Wade (2018 LHP, Hartselle, AL) was up to 91 mph early on and threw from a lower three-quarter slot and created good angle on the fastball. Wade had a short slider that he used to bury low in the zone to induce swings and misses.
Alek Thomas (2018 OF, Chicago, IL) had two singles during the game today which included a left-on-left hard hit single up the middle. Thomas recorded a 6.63 60-yard dash and is an outstanding athlete in the outfield as he ranges well to both sides.
Jeremiah Jackson (2018 SS, Mobile, AL) had two hits to the opposite field today. Jackson handles the barrel very well and showed the ability to go with pitches to the opposite field. The Mississippi State commit is a quality athlete as well and had a stolen base to show for it.
