Gold

UGA Commit. 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Gold was a pre tourney target for us due to not seeing him for a while, and he definitely impressed. Although his FB velocity wasn’t where we’ve seen it, he did locate very well arm side. He sat mostly in the 86-87 range and touched 89 in the 1st. He was effective throughout the outing, showcasing a very deceptive new arm action that’s a much shorter circle than we saw over the summer. Due to the deceptiveness, he did produce some swing & miss. What he will need to add to this new arm action is more extension out front, as he’s not getting the chest over the front knee at release with the shorter arm stroke. As a solid athlete, he should be able to make this adjustment to give him the best of both worlds. His CB showed better shape than last summer, with a bit more velo in the 72-75 range and it was less noticeable out of the hand.

UGA Commit. 6 foot 3, 170 pounds with room to fill out. Deceptive delivery coming from a full circle 3/4 AA. Produces big downhill angle on his upper 80’s FB w/ sink & tail. Good extension to both edges. CB 68-71 has tilt & shape, throws confidently. Repeats all stretch delivery well.

6-foot-1 150-pounds. Another competitive freshman arm for Campbell. Long, lanky lefty showed a ton of upside on Friday night. FB was 79-81, and CB was 66-69 with good spin. Arm works the same on both FB and CB. Came in relief in a tight game, and worked his way out of a jam. He gets good extension, and looks really comfortable out of the stretch and using the slide step.
