Gulf Coast Summer ID: Quick Hits
June 4, 2025
ORANGE BEACH, AL - The Gulf Coast Summer ID was held on Tuesday, June 3rd at Orange Beach Sportsplex in Orange Beach, AL. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2026-2030 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.
Continuing our post-event coverage, we take an in-depth look at a select number of standouts from Tuesday's event. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release other leaderboards and individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.

Brue Milner C / Tallassee High School, AL / 20275-foot-10, 210-pounds. Premium physicality and strength to the frame built in proportionally, especially in the lower-half. One of the top offensive prospects in Alabama's 2027 class and a high-level name to know for this summer. Utilizes the strength and physcality exceptionally well, as he generates tons of force and torque in rotation allowing him to impact the baseball at a real high level, particularly to the pull-side during BP. Swings the right-handed barrel with aggressive intent, looking to drive and hammer into the LCF gap. Ability to slug is the carrying tool currently, but has shown in-game the ability to shorten up and spray some to all-fields. Round was littered with loud contact, posting numerous triple-digit EVs with a top of 103.1 mph while averaging 98.5 mph and recorded a max estimated distance of 409 ft., all event-bests. Showcases a quick transfer behind the plate with above-average arm strength, producing 1.98-2.07 pop times and a C velocity of 77 mph to the second-base bag. Checks a good amount of boxes for our staff being able to show the pop in multiple settings, including in the spring where not many teams seemed to be able to get him out. Continues to showcases as the top backstop in Alabama's 2027 class and will be a name for college coaches to monitor closely this summer.

Boston Hanna 3B / OF / Gulf Breeze High School, FL / 20275-foot-11, 174-pounds. Athletic build with some present strength. Thoroughly impressive performance from the rising junior with the right-handed bat, showing tons of impact in the barrel and some positional versatility on the defensive side. Offensively, the uncommitted right-hander took some big hacks throughout his round of BP and delivered consistent loud contact to the pull-side frequently. With some upwardness to the barrel path, Hanna displays some pull-side power with a couple of home runs leaving the yard in the round with a chance for more with added strength and physicality. The bat speed is present while hitting off of a firm back-side to allow him to impact the baseball at a high-level. Moved around the field defensively and showcased some ability there, posting an INF velo of 87 mph across and an 88 mph OF velo during the defensive portion of the workout.

One of the top two-way prospects in Alabama's 2027 class, and flashed ability on both sides during the event. Offensively, the right-hander starts in a lower hand-set and uses a toe-tap trigger for timing. Showcases a simple move to the launch position and leads a quick barrel through the zone on an upward path, allowing for some lift and impact to the pull-side. Lived on the barrel with consistent line drives to the LCF gap recording a top EV of 99.3 mph and a max estimated distance of 387 ft. On the mound, the right-hander operated 85-86 mph with the fastball and topped at 86.7 mph while showing some late tailing action and has been as high as 88 mph in the past. Spins a hard, lateral slider at 77-80 mph showing late bite and spin rates around the 2200 RPM mark and shows some tunnel off the fastball, especially when located to the glove-side. Also turns over the changeup at 79-80 mph well with significant fading action to the arm side. Clean operation and delivery with likely future jumps to come.
