Dylan Mercado (2029 3B, Houston, TX) pitched three shutout innings where he struck out two. Showed an athletic delivery with a fast arm that worked with intent down the mound. Ran the FB up to 81 and mixed in a developing slurvy breaker in the low 70s.
Matthew Passantino (2028 RHP, Mount Sinai, NY) threw three scoreless innings where he struck out three. Displayed a balanced and repeatable operation where he ran his fastball up to 82 that he was pounding to the glove side. Also flashed a slower/slurvy breaker in the mid-upper 60s.
Jj Lott (2029 LHP, Scottsdale, AZ) showed intriguing stuff from the left side in his 3 innings of work where he struck out three. Only ran the fastball up to 78 but showed a ton of upside with his breaking ball that showed big/sharp action and that flashed sweeper shape in the upper 60s (~2500 rpm).
Tripp Morris (2029 RHP, Madison, AL) threw three shutout innings of his own. Projectable 6-2/145 frame. Showed a loose/continuous arm action that ran the FB up to 79. Mixed in a SL with upside in the upper 60s that flashed some late bite/depth and produced a couple ugly whiffs.
Merrik McGrath (2028 RHP, Alpharetta, GA) is a physical RHP at 6-1/190 that showed some quality velo in his 2+ innings of work. FB was up to 84, living in the low 80s and mixed in a SL that flashed sweeper shape in the mid-upper 60s.
Logan Hurn (2029 OF, Neosho, MO) had himself a two-hit game this morning. First one was a 2K swing where he went with the outside FB down the LF line for a double. He then went back up the box for a LD single to center. Appears to be some quality bat-to-ball ability within a simple/balanced LH swing.
Louis Lappe (2029 3B, El Segundo, CA) found a nice line drive barrel into left. Keeps it real simple with the lower half where he shows loose hands that throw a quick barrel through with some sneaky strength at impact.
Brody Gillaspy (2029 SS, Lake Tapps, WA) grounded one hard down the left field line for a single. Hands set into a low launch with a barrel that works slightly uphill that top spun this particular fastball for a barrel.
Cooper Knight (2029 1B, Buda, TX) had a nice opposite knock where he kept his hands in tight on an inside fastball and found enough barrel to shoot it into left for a single.
