Batting Practice Highlights

2/8/2025

Bret Estep (2029 SS, Corbin, KY) put together a clean round of BP, impacting the ball with good strength to all different parts of the diamond. He showcased a smooth, consistent stroke with good adjustability and control throughout the strike zone.

Nolan Gifford (2029 MIF, Henderson, NV) was all over the barrel during his BP round, launching baseballs to the middle of the field with every swing. He remains short to it and delivers the barrel in a timely manner with tons of intent.

John Benson (2030 SS, Lexington, KY) put together a consistent round of batting practice, lining several baseballs the other way. The left-handed hitter looks to create lift and backspin at the point of contact, particularly to the opposite field.

Easton Hendrickson (2029 1B, Corbin, KY) showcased the ability to generate easy leverage at the point of contact. The 6-foot-2 righty has plenty of evident strength in the hands and barrel, along with the ability to create carry to both gaps.

Jace Simmons (2030 C, Lexington, KY) turned in an impressive round, showing off both his bat-to-ball skills and strength at impact. He maintains good posture over the baseball while generating leverage at the point of contact.

King James (2030 SS, Cincinnati, OH) turned in a consistent round of batting practice while demonstrating the ability to work all parts of the field. The righty hitter gets his front foot down on-time and looks to create carry from gap to gap.

Brady Rudzik (2029 3B, Lexington, KY) produced consistent impact to the opposite field during his BP round, showing off his advanced ability to go the other way. The 6-foot righty generates easy strength and quickness in the barrel on a frequent basis.

Andrew Heuckroth (2030 SS, Lexington, KY) was on the barrel throughout the entirety of his batting practice round, showing off his barrel skills and adjustability. He flashed impressive strength in the barrel along with the ability to create leverage to the middle of the field.

Zachary Fugate (2029 OF, Lexington, KY) remained short to the baseball and turned his hips with plenty of intent. The 6-foot-1 righty hitter remains synced-up in the box before delivering a strong barrel at the point of impact.
