Today, we take a closer look at some of the top outfield performances from the event. ⤵️

Noah Odom, OF, Houston County
Odom has been on the rise over the past calendar year and is coming off a breakout junior campaign. Strength is present with loads of athleticism throughout the 5-foot-11, 188-pound frame. Good balance and rhythm throughout the swing in a well-leveraged path with budding impact in the barrel. Finished the event with a Max EV (98.3) and a Max Distance (380ft.) and posted a 6.80 60 which was the 5th best in the event. In gameplay Odom would hammer a breaking-ball down in the zone as he sent it out over the LF wall in a hurry for the 2-run home-run. Odom has the potential to be a plus defender at the collegiate level as well backed by present above-average foot speed with excellent routes taken and elite instincts. There are notable high-floor tools throughout the profile with projection remaining.

Kaleb Pendley, OF, Effingham County
Standing a physical, athletic 6-foot-0, 183-pounds, Pendley shows good body control as he found the barrel regularly in BP. Producing a Max EV (91.9) and a Max Distance (344ft.) as well running a 6.83 60. Pendley perpetually lived on the barrel in gameplay as he took really good swings throughout the afternoon with a couple of barrels right at guys. The LHH syncs up well with good balance and delivers a well-leveraged barrel through the zone in a path geared for loft. Pitch recognition stands out with present accuracy in the barrel in an advanced approach to match. Armed with an immense feel to hit there is strength to project upon as well for Pendley. As he looks poised to build off an impressive junior campaign as a reliable stick in the order for Effingham County in the spring. There are strong tools across the board for Pendley that were evident across Senior Games.

Marcus Ward, OF, Kings Ridge Christian
Ward impressed in ‘25 across a standout spring and summer circuit and the Kings Ridge OF made a statement at Senior Games. Finished with an event best 6.29 60. As well as producing a Max EV (99.1) and an average EV (89.4) in BP as the ability to spray the ball to all-fields with authority stood out. Ward exhibits extremely easy actions at the plate with a fluid LH stroke and strength to project upon throughout the uber-athletic 5-foot-11, 165-pound frame. Stays well-connected with innate barrel feel and effortless bat speed to match. Ward carried it over into gameplay at the plate as he came through through a hard-hit single into RF off a strong arm talent. There’s an abundance of tools throughout the profile for Ward with a chance to make an impact at the next level right away.

Matt Berardinelli, OF, Loganville
The Loganville OF has been a big winner over the past couple of months amongst staff. Plenty of athleticism throughout the wiry, athletic 5-foot-11, 161-pound frame with strength to project upon. Berardinelli put together a strong round of BP as he sprayed the ball to the pull-side with a Max EV (96.7) as well as running a 6.76 60. The RHH gets into his lower half well with good ability to stay balanced as he delivers an on-plane stroke with accuracy in the barrel in a quick trigger. Compiled quality at-bats in game-play including a hard-hit single back into centerfield. Berardinelli appears geared up to have a big impact throughout his senior campaign with one of the perennial powerhouses in the state.

Grant Bartell, OF, Westlake
It was an impressive showing in a multitude of ways for Bartell at Senior Games. The athletic RHH holds compact strength throughout the 5-foot-7 frame as he consistently found the barrel in a mature round of BP. As he posted a Max EV at 95.9 as well as clocking at a 6.60 60 and a OF velo of 87 (3rd in event). Bartell stays well-connected with a low pre-pitch handset that stays in rhythm with a higher leg-kick load that allows him to deliver an accurate barrel. Well-balanced through impact as he generates strength from the ground-up with a stout lower half. He would show off the ability to hit the ball to all-fields in gameplay as he kept his hands inside to shoot an inside fastball the other way into RF for a knock. Bartell was a key catalyst throughout the season and in the playoffs for Westlake last year as he looks to repeat in ‘26.

Michael Heath, OF, Brookwood
Heath was out to make a statement at Georgia Senior Games and looks poised for a potential breakout spring with a big role for Brookwood on the horizon. With an athletic 6-foot-2, 180-pounds, Heath is a long strider with above-average foot speed that shows up in the outfield and in the 60 (6.72). Quiet approach in the box with great balance and leverage in an uphill path. Showed advanced bat speed (81.6) as he hammered balls to the pull-side with easy carry as he launched a couple over the wall. Finished with the 2nd best max exit velocity of the event at 104.1. Heath continued his strong day in OF workouts by showing off the best arm of the day, topping at 91 with accuracy. All the tools are there for Heath and the in-game production is starting to stack up quickly, will be a name to watch.

Reece Romans, OF, Jefferson
It was our first look at Romans in the showcase setting and there’s a lot to like with the lean 6-foot-1, 171-pound outfielder. Simple actions in the box while incorporating a well-timed leg kick as well, Romans displays loose hands in an on-plane path that helped produce top-five numbers in both Max Bat Speed (84.3) and Max EV (101.6). There’s present athleticism in the profile for Romans as well as a 6.84 runner with good actions in the outfield as well. The pair of Romans and uncommitted junior OF Eli Primm give the Dragons a potent outfield duo heading into this upcoming spring.

Ellis Appling III, OF, Parkview
Another consistent performer in multiple settings that we’ve seen him in, Appling showed very well across the board this past weekend. Compact, physical 5-foot-8, 185-pound frame that boasts real strength in the lower half. The outfielder displayed quality bat-to-ball skills while driving both gaps consistently throughout a mature round of BP. Consistent 90+ EVs with a max of 97.1 and turning on one for 3rd-best distance of the day at 381ft. Sneaky foot speed for Appling that was shown with an explosive first step en route to a 6.72 60. That speed plays up in the outfield where Appling shows quality instincts and route to offer an above-average glove in either corner spot. There’s a high floor here with present feel to hit that will play collegiately at multiple levels.

Quinn Carter, OF, East Cobb Academy

Braye Brown, OF, Appling County
Brown has battled some injuries over the last year or so, so we were excited to see him back healthy. He had one of the top 60-yard dash times at 6.40 with a 30 yard split of 3.59 and a max run speed of 21.8. He even showed off the vertical jump at 28.6 inches. The athleticism and game speed is what continues to standout from Brown. He has feel for the barrel and knows how to use his speed which could be an asset for any program at the next level.

Walker Clark, OF, South Forsyth
Clark has been as consistent as they come over the last couple of years and is only getting better. There is added strength in the already physical frame with the ability to translate batting practice strength into game play. He is versatile and athletic enough to stick at many different positions on the field. Expect for him to have a strong senior year, and only get better as he gets to the college level.

Wilson Davis, OF, Fitzgerald
This was our 1st look at Davis in this setting and right away and the athleticism stands out. He ran a 6.75 and had a big double in game play. There is feel for the barrel from the left with strength to match.
