Game: Cullman vs. Buckhorn

+ C Jonah Inman (Cullman, 2026) turned in a well-rounded performance, impacting the game in multiple facets with a polished offensive approach and athletic presence. The Northwest-Shoals CC recruit hits from the left side with a clean, easy operation, showing a smooth barrel with slight upward tilt and solid bat speed through the zone. Utilizes an all-fields approach with consistent feel for the barrel and strong strike zone awareness, allowing him to string together quality at-bats. Finished 2-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch, while also swiping two bases to further impact the game. Shows athleticism behind the plate with the ability to contribute in multiple ways. Profiles as a steady, well-rounded backstop with a mature offensive profile.
