Today, we take a closer look at some of the top performers from the event on Sunday. ⤵️


Daniel Biondo, C, 2027, Denmark
Uncommitted. The barrel feel continues to stand out for the Denmark backstop in each and every look. Biondo put together a polished round of BP with barrel after barrel as he showed the ability to drive the ball to both gaps with authority (Max EV: 98.9, Avg. EV 94.7, Hard-hit % 100%). Simple actions with present above-average feel for the barrel in a linear path backed by fast, fluid hands through the zone in a quick trigger. Works short-to-long and keeps the barrel in the zone forever with ability to manipulate. The tools behind the plate can be equally as loud for Biondo as he boasts plenty of athleticism in the crouch and present arm strength to match. Posted an event best pop time at 1.94. There is still plenty more to project upon for the fomer Future Gamer and Biondo is primed to build off a breakout sophomore season this upcoming Spring.

Erick Del Carmen, OF, 2026, Georgia Premier
Seminole State College of Florida commit. The toolshed profile was on full display during the entirety of the event for the GPA OF. Kicked off the event by clocking at 6.75 60. Del Carmen then followed it up with a potent round of BP. As he produced a Max EV of 99.9 and a Max Distance of 372ft. The athletic, broad-shouldered 5-foot-9, 171-pound RHH would live on the barrel as he generated easy carry in a heavy pull-side approach. Gets into his lower half well with good ability to rotate well backed by explosive hands and leverage in-zone. The defensive tools were equally as loud as he showed off immense arm strength from the OF with a 91 OF velo and accuracy to home.

Eli Koskela, OF, Bryan County, 2027
Uncommitted. Standing a physical and athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, Koskela put together a really good overall showing and was one of the biggest winners at the Georgia Southern Fall Campus Tour. Stays extremely simple and excellent barrel feel with present bat speed was evident in a potent round of BP as the RHH hammered baseballs to the pull-side with ease (Max Distance 381ft.). Stout lower half stands out as he generates a ton of strength from the ground-up and creates great leverage through the zone that generates high exit velos (Max 99.7, Avg. 89.7). As well as posting a 7.05 60.

Liam Collier, 1B/LHP, Locust Grove, 2027
Uncommitted. The former Future Gamer looked the part in all aspects at the Georgia Southern Fall Campus Tour. Physical 6-foot-0, 188-pounds, Collier holds big-time strength in the frame and generates obvious strength from the ground-up. Put together a mature round of BP as he consistently drove the ball to both gaps with ease (Max EV 98.9, Avg. EV 90.2). Innate barrel feel stands out as the LHH works short-to-long with fluid hands in-zone. On the mound, the left-hander shows good feel for the entire 3-pitch mix with a clean, repeatable delivery from a higher ¾ slot and creates easy drive down the mound with present strength in the lower half. Fastball lived 82-85 and the changeup tunneled effectively off of it at 70-73 with good arm-side fade. Slider was spun over at 72-74 with depth and feel to land in the zone. Collier continues to perform at a high-level in each look and will be a good add for any recruiting class with a chance to make an impact right away.

Kai Hernandez-Gambill, 1B/LHP, 2027, Benedictine
Uncommitted. The ball was simply jumping off the barrel of the LHH as he produced one of the more potent rounds of BP on the day. Ultra-physical at 6-foot-3, 186-pounds with loads of strength throughout the frame. Does a great job of staying well-balanced and leveraged in-zone with accuracy in the barrel. Present bat speed and hammered baseballs to the pull-side with ease and posted an event best (Max EV 105.1). The southpaw would show well on the mound with good feel for all three of his pitches. Stout frame and creates easy drive down the mound follow by a quick, strong arm. Operates from a lower ¾ slot and repeats well. Fastball sat 83-85 and curveball created tight depth with ability to land at the bottom of the zone. Changeup tunneled extremely well off the fastball at 77-78 with late-tumble. It’s a strong all-around profile for Hernandez-Gambill with plenty of projection remaining throughout.



Everett Hammond, OF/LHP, 2028, Dunwoody
Lean and athletic at 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, Hammond put together a strong showing in all facets. Showed the ability to drive the ball to the pull-side in a heavy line-drive approach. The LHH stays compact with present bat speed and good ability to match plane (Max EV 98.9). Clocked at a 6.92 60 time. On the mound, Hammond is a quality mover and creates some extension with plenty more to project upon throughout the frame. Operates from a high ¾ slot with some whip to the arm action present. Fastball sat 78-81 and curveball showed depth at 64-66. Changeup was worked in at 71 as well. Hammond has a chance to make an instant two-way impact in the Spring for a Dunwoody squad that looks to build off a deep playoff run from a year ago.

Will Walker, OF, 2028, Coffee
It was a strong first look at the Coffee OF across the Georgia Southern Campus Tour. Wiry and long-limbed frame at 5-foot-10, 133-pounds with good projection remaining. Walker showed well in BP as he produced a Max EV of 93.7 in a heavy pull-side approach. Stays compact with quick, direct hands and good balance with accuracy in the barrel to match. Has a chance to carve out a role in the spring as an underclassman with Coffee this upcoming Spring.


Josiah “Jayce” Woods, C, 2028, Georgia Premier
The barrel was extremely potent in a loud round for the backstop. Ultra-physical at 5-foot-10, 192-pounds, Woods exudes excellent body control and shifts weight really well through impact. Explosive hands in-zone stand out as he creates leverage through the zone in a pull-side approach with real strength in the lower half. Posted a Max EV of 98.1 and a Max Distance of 362ft. Woods has looked the part over the past calendar year and remains a name to follow as he heads into his sophomore campaign.

Casey McBride Jr., MIF, 2027, Georgia Premier
Uncommitted. It was an all-around impressive showing in all-facets for McBride. Obvious twitch and tons of athleticism throughout the 5-foot-8, 143-pound frame. Started off the day by running a 6.7 60. At the plate, the RHH creates excellent length in-zone with present bat speed and leverage in the barrel. Posted a Max EV at 97.8 and a Max Distance of 365ft. Athletic actions up the middle in the dirt with soft hands, lateral quickness, and present arm strength 90 IF Velo). It’s a high-floor profile and McBride can help provide immense value to success in a multitude of ways at the next level.

Josiah Patrick, OF, 2027, Georgia Premier
Uncommitted. The Georgia Premier product continues to impress each time we get to see him. During BP, Patrick showcased a dynamic offensive approach, posting a max EV of 99.1 MPH. His swing features composed rhythm and balance, maintaining leverage through the zone while generating consistent gap-to-gap contact. The connection between his upper/lower half is clear, allowing for violent and powerful bat speed. Defensively, Josiah displays excellent arm strength with OF velocities up to 88 MPH moving with natural athleticism and strong positional instincts. A 6.72 60-yard dash further highlights his athletic profile, and he looks poised to carry a strong fall performance into the upcoming spring.

Sam Hubbard, LHP, 2027, Bulloch Academy
Uncommitted. A really good outing on the bump from the southpaw. Over the course of his bullpen session, Hubbard showcased efficient mechanics and a delivery that effectively hides the ball. His fastball sat 85-87 MPH with plus ride, allowing it to play well at the top of the zone. He works from a high 3/4 slot with powerful lower half movements off the mound. The 78-80 MPH slider showed legit depth, while his low 80s changeup featured late fade and excellent feel. Sam also worked a third offspeed offering, a mid 70s curveball, with 11/7 action and legit downward plane. He demonstrated real pitchability, effectively sequencing his four-pitch mix throughout his time on the mound. Anticipate Hubbard continuing to turn heads come 2026, as he would be a nice addition to any collegiate recruiting class.

Kingston Long, OF, 2026, Shaw
Uncommitted. A really impressive day all around for the senior from Shaw. Kingston posted a 7.00 60-yard dash, moving well for his 6-foot-2 frame with long, efficient strides. At the plate, he hits from a slightly open stance with a subtle toe-tap and a level swing path. His hands work quickly through the zone, generating easy power to the pull side with a max exit velocity of 99.3 mph. Long shows a natural feel with strong upper/lower-half connection throughout the swing. Defensively, he’s an athletic mover with good arm strength and well-developed positional instincts, staying active through each rep keeping his throws on a line. Kingston will be a fun follow come next spring offensively, as he looks to anchor Shaw’s lineup once more.

Brock Holcombe, OF/RHP, 2027, Lakeside
Uncommitted. Very impressive showing in all facets for Brock Holcombe. Holcombe stood out immediately during BP, showing an athletic rhythm through his load and violent hand speed through the zone that produces excellent bat speed (103.6 max EV). His smooth left-handed swing creates loud contact, especially pull-side within his 6-foot-0 frame. In the outfield, he moves dynamically with smooth actions and strong arm speed, recording OF velos up to 90 MPH. On the mound, Brock’s four-seam sat in the low 80s and got up to 85 MPH, featuring plus ride that plays well up in the zone with command. Working from a high 3/4 slot, he mixes in an upper-70s changeup that tunnels effectively down in the zone. Brock also worked a true sweeper at 73-75 MPH with true glove-side run with advanced feel for the pitch. Don’t expect Holcombe to remain uncommitted much longer, as he’s an intriguing two-way with promise on both sides of the ball.
