Braxton Ashcraft (2018 RHP, Waco, TX) had a great start as he showed outstanding pitchability and a filthy repertoire. The fastball sat from 89-92 mph and showed outstanding life with sink and dive down and to the arm side. He mixed in multiple breaking balls which included a short slider with tilt. 

David Luethje (2018 RHP, Vero Beach, FL) worked 92-94 mph in his first inning and got some downhill plane on the pitches. The arm action is loose and easy and Luethje got excellent extension toward the plate and flashed an effective changeup. 

Levi Kelly (2018 RHP, Cape Coral, FL) worked 92-95 mph with his fastball. He was able to work the fastball by hitters and also showed his slider that was effective low in the zone for swings and misses. 

Miko Rodriguez (2018 OF, Ada, MI) has multiple hits today and showed a knack for getting the barrel of the ball on the bat. Rodriguez showed the ability to hit the ball hard to all fields with a line drive approach in the batter's box. 

Luke Leisenring (2018 C, Golden, CO) is tall and projectable with present power and more to come as he continues to fill out. Leisenring has multiple hits in today's game and shows a naturally lofted swing plane and created hard line drives consistently. 

Xavier Valentin (2018 C, Manati, PR) showed good raw power and the ability to drive the ball to all fields. Valentin launched an opposite field triple that bounced off the monster in left centerfield.
