Luis Carlos Cruz (2026 C, Bayamon, PR) produced a solid round of BP here, using a direct contact oriented stroke to create consistent contact. Worked it nicely to the middle of the field and pull, parts work and has some hand speed. 

Jameson Farley (2024 2B, Duncanville, AL)- Good impact off the barrel, uses a small leg lift with quick hands through the zone to impact the baseball consistently. Middle to PS linedrive approach, on the barrel a lot during the round.

Ty Newton (2025 OF, Murfreesboro, TN) impressed from both sides of the box during his two rounds of BP. Easy, low tension stroke created solid contact to pull from either side. Real ability to hit for some contact using both dexterities, very good athlete with a loose stroke.

Andrew "Cole" Rhame (2025, Austin, TX) used a fluid double toe tap trigger in sync with his load to create separation and work the middle of the field. Good athlete with projectable traits all over, looked really good when he hovered the trigger some and got lower half fully involved. 

Milan Obradovich (2024 C, Tuscaloosa, AL)- Standout bat speed here at the event, natural feel for the barrel and was able to work it all over the yard. Very high hand set but getst them in position to fire around the back shoulder, hitterish traits in the profile.

Luke Lloyd (2025 OF, Memphis, TN)- Strong kid with impact off the barrel, rotational swing with some backside RC gap impact flashed in the round. Has some warning track pop with wood right now, finding consistency and getting to it often will be the key but has the ingredients.

Aden Redlich (2025 RHP, Austin, TX)- Power bat/corner IF profile here, worked the pull side consistently with line drives in the gap. Can turn it over, effortless strength and gets to it easily with wood. Impressive round overall.
