LakePoint Preseason ID- Quick Hits 

Ayden Myers, OF, 2026, Cambridge
The uncommitted senior put together a strong round of BP in a heavy pull-side approach. Stands a physical, barrel-chested at 6-foot-0, 170-pounds with athleticism throughout and plenty of projection in the frame/profile. Balanced load with present bat speed through the zone and strength in the hands/wrists stands out. Budding impact in the barrel as he produced an average (85.5) and a max (97.6) exit velocities. Myers looks poised to carve out a quality role in the box for the Bears this Spring.

Everett Grubbs, SS/RHP, 2027, Pickens
Uncommitted. The Pickens junior looked the part on both sides of the ball as he appears poised to carry a key two-way role with his new team this Spring. Stands a wiry and lean 5-foot-11, 153-pounds with present athleticism throughout the profile. At the plate, the RHH shows fluid hands with length and ability to move the barrel around the zone with bat-to-ball skills as he posted a max (89.2) exit velocity. Athletic actions in the dirt as well with soft hands and arm strength to match. Finished second in the event with easy, accurate throws across the diamond to first-base at (82 MPH) IF velo without reaching back for more. Provided a deceptive look on the mound with pitchability and much more to project with added size/strength as well. Operates from a low slot with whippy arm speed and excellent feel for a deep four-pitch mix that all play extremely well off one another. Fastball lived 83-84 (HM 22.8) and sinker at 83 (HM 24.9) as he consistently landed both on the inner half to RHH. Changeup tunneled with late-depth and arm-side fade at 77-78 (HM 26.2). Innate feel to spin frisbee sliders at 70-72 (2500+ RPM). Grubbs boasts strong in-game intangibles and will look to contribute in a multitude of ways to Pickens success this season.

Grant Dorrell, OF, 2027, North Paulding
Uncommitted. The North Paulding outfielder was all over the barrel in a strong round of BP. The LHH stays simple in a quick trigger and generates strength from the ground-up. Twitchy hands through the zone stand out with leverage in the barrel in a heavy pull-side approach. Posted an average (86.4) and a max (98.2) exit velocities. Dorrell will look to hold down a spot in the outfield for the Wolfpack this year and immediately strengthens one of the deepest rosters in all of 6A.

Truitt Grubbs, OF, 2028, Pickens
The ‘24 JFG alum has made significant gains and noticeable strides to his game across the board which were evident in a standout showing on Saturday morning. Stands a physical and broad-shouldered 6-foot-0, 173-pounds with plenty more to project. Consistently found the barrel with ability to spray the ball to both gaps in a strong round of BP. Utilizes a leg-kick load as he sync ups up well with good utilization and stays balanced through impact. Shows a direct path through the zone with present bat speed and barrel feel alike. Finished the round with an average (87.0) and a max (92.5) exit velocities. Athletic actions in the outfield as well as he fired accurate throws to home plate and posted an OF velo at 81 MPH. Grubbs brings an energetic presence to the diamond and a strong feel to hit as he will look to compete for a spot in the outfield this year, and if given the opportunity he could take it and run with it.

Connor Mitchem, C, 2028, Gatewood
It was yet another potent look at Mitchem in the showcase setting. Physical 6-foot-4, 221-pound frame as he boasts immense strength and projection in the frame. Minimal wasted effort from a potent LH cut with excellent body control and generated significant pull-side carry with the ability to backspin balls way out to the pull-side (Max Distance: 388ft.). Shows present bat speed with whip in the barrel and excellent leverage through the zone. Posted an average (93.3) and a max (99.4) exit velocities. Mitchem looks poised for a breakout Spring and could earn a massive jump in the rankings with a chance to be a name to know in the class in due time.

Cohen Ward, 3B, 2030, Harrison
The Hoya pipeline grows stronger with a stout first impression made by Ward. Physical 5-foot-11, 206-pounds with ground-up strength. Stays simple and utilizes a toe-tap load as he stays balanced through the zone and delivers a heavy barrel in a pull-side oriented approach. Posted an average (87.1) and a max (93.1) exit velocities with plenty more strength to project upon in the frame.

Josiah Harris, OF/SS, 2027, Academy For Classical Education
Uncommitted. Harris has a compact, strong build that can produce in the middle of any order. At the plate, exhibits a true power output with impressive contact in his upward swing, allowing for consistent carry. His swing has high intent and strength, working as a run producer for the heart of a lineup. Physically, Harris passes the eye test with his impressive athletic build standing just above 5-foot-7 and weighing 179 in a muscular build. Defensively, showed an over-the-top arm slot with accuracy and clean footwork, fielding the ball on the outer foot well. Strong and on target throws present throughout his round. This highly potent offensive bat has the ability to contribute at a high level this spring and be a solid defender in the outfield.

Aiden Thornton, MIF/RHP, 2028, Blessed Trinity
6-foot-0, 155.6 pounds, Thornton showed a well-rounded skillset with obvious comfort for both aspects of the game. At the dish, he features a smooth and low swing that consistently manufactures line drives. Spraying the ball to all fields with balance and control, the young MIF has a plus hit tool. Pitching, the four-seamer is his main weapon with a two-seam fastball to compliment and give hitters a different look. The slider showed sharp movement and late action, while his changeup gives a legitimate third option, breaking in an opposite direction. Works around the zone very well, using off-speed that starts on the plate and ends off. With Thronton’s strong feel for the game, the Sophomore has a bright future at Blessed Trinity.

Amari Altice, 2B/RHP, 2029, Mountain View
At 5-foot-7 and 130 pounds, the 2B from Mountain View HS had an impressive offensive showing centered around contact and control. Despite his smaller frame, future maturity and growth are inevitable to be key to unlocking even more. Altice found the barrel at a rate of 67%, knuckling line drives to every part of the field, staying through the ball. His flat bat and great bat-to-ball skills profile the Freshman as a high contact table setter at the top of a lineup. As his current exit velocities mature, the clean and repeatable swing add upside as he begins to fill out his frame. A refreshing look from a young bat who enjoys controlling the barrel, shows great offensive tools to build on moving forward, and a confident, loose player.

Kyle Coleman, C/1B, 2028, Pope
Standing 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, Kyle Coleman presented a strong, athletic look with potential to make an impact on both sides of the ball. In the box, he features a flat and efficient swing, leading to high barrel rates and consistent line drives, while keeping opposite field pop. Though the swing is longer, the strong use of the lower half allows him to drive the ball with authority, posting a max EV of 98.3 mph and repeatedly reaching the wall with a 5-10 mph wind blowing in. Sets up comfortably with a wide base and utilizes the lower half through contact. Defensively, a single-knee catching setup with very smooth transfers and quick feet, posting pop times in the very low 2.00s. Coleman throws from a snappy, upper three-quarters slot. For his size, the backstop moves extremely well and moves like an athlete.

Logan Tylke, MIF/RHP, 2029, Harrison
5-foot-9.5, 164 pounds, showing a compact, efficient swing with a high contact potential and projectible power growth. The swing is very flat, producing a high barrel rate and consistent line drives while also showing the ability to hit the gaps. With a comfortable setup and quick hands (max bat speed of 72.2 mph and hand speed of 20.6 mph) allow him to stay on plane and barrel pitches consistently. Posting an upper-60% sweet spot rate, highlighting quality contact. Defensively, moves smoothly across the infield with athletic feel, displaying fluid hands and feet. As a freshman, Tylke projects with significant upside as well and overall game expected to grow as he physically matures.

Trey Windham, C/RHP, 2026, North Forsyth
Young Harris College Commit. 6-foot-0, 170 pounds. The senior from North Forsyth put together an impressive overall display on Saturday displaying his versatility. Windham had a solid round of BP, having a max exit velocity of 96. Had over 55% hard hit percent and hit max distance of 359. A lot of projection still from this senior and that includes his arm strength. Threw a positional arm velo of 88 and provided good speed for his size. Ran the 30 yard in 3.92 seconds. I love the upside of Windham and is a player to watch out for as he starts his final year for North Forsyth.

Eli Primm, OF/LHP, 2027, Jefferson
Uncommitted. 5-foot-8, 182 pounds. Primm had quite the hitting display over the weekend. A quick balanced swing from Primm provides consistent contact. During his round he averaged 88.3 exit velocity and topped out at 96.8 with a distance of 370ft. He consistently created hard contact, with a rate of 67%. A ton of projection still remains for the junior as he continues to add strength to his frame. Defensively, he showed quickness and impressive arm strength from the outfield. Threw 88mph from right to home on an accurate line. Shows some quickness too as he ran the 30-yard in 3.91 seconds. Excited to see what Primm can do at Jefferson this spring.

Montavious Fowler, OF/SS, 2027, Homeschool (GA)
Uncommitted. 5-foot-8, 145 pounds. Fowler displayed his athleticism on Saturday. Was top 2 in the 60-yard sprint, running it in 6.86 seconds. Defensively, had great range and motion towards the ball and had a velo of 79 mph. During his BP round he averaged 86.8 exit velocity, topping out at 92.3. Fowler has quick hands and can drive the ball anywhere from left to right. The junior has projection remaining and should have a solid year.

Barrett Harrell, OF/3B, 2026, Coffee County
Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 169 pounds. The senior showed off his improved strength and put together a solid round of BP at Lakepoint last weekend. A quiet load, quick hands to the ball, he drives the ball consistently. Harrell had an EV of 91 and topped out at 94.5 for 350ft. Defensively, displayed some arm strength firing towards home at 84mph and ran the 30 yard in 3.89 seconds. A lot of projection for the senior makes the utility player a name to watch for this spring for Coffee County.

Dyson Sparks, OF, 2029, Etowah
Sparks is a name to look out for in the coming years as he put on an impressive overall display on Saturday. The freshman outfielder, Sparks, measures at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds. He has the ability to drive the ball the other way well and averaged 91 exit velocity during his BP. He maxed out at 98.6 EV and maxed distance of 377ft. Had a 75% sweetspot percent and had a balanced approach at the plate. Defensively works well in the outfield with his improving arm strength, 83 velo from right field. As Sparks matures and grows into his projection, he will be looking to provide value to a deep Etowah team this spring.

Carson Mcquillen, SS/RHP, 2028, Walton
Had an impressive outing both at the plate and on the mound last weekend at LakePoint. The right hander’s fastball topped out at 86.1 mph, while consistently sitting around 84-85 mph. Mcquillen also mixes in a changeup, curveball and slider to his pitch arsenal. Out of his secondary pitches, his curveball had great movement to it with an average spin rate of 2424 (rpm). Mcquillen is a projectable arm that will only get stronger over time as he continues to grow. At the plate, he had a max exit velocity of 87.5 and shows consistent ability to spray the ball across the field. Great upside across the board for the 2028 graduate out of Walton high school.

When at the plate, the 14 year old showed a nice controlled swing and had a max exit velocity of 90.6 mph, while averaging 84.2 mph. Lagrange seems to have tremendous upside at a young age and will continue to develop over time. Overall, an impressive debut at LakePoint for Cruz Lagrange.

Brodie Singletary, C/RHP, 2027, Fitzgerald
Class of 2027 Brodie Singletary had a nice showing at the plate with a max exit velocity of 94 mph along with averaging 86.2 on the day. Singletary has a short and smooth compact swing with a quick hitch allowing him to get the barrel to the ball in a fast manner. Behind the plate, Singletary recorded a 2.06-2.14 pop time and showed a smooth transition of getting the ball out. With quick hands at the plate and athleticism in the field, Singletary goes into the 2026 season looking primed for a great year.

Drew Mcgee, OF, 2029, Lassiter

He showed consistent strong, quick hands through the zone and has even more potential to hit for power as he progresses. On the mound, his fastball sat 79-82 mph with an average spin rate of 2083 rpm. Mcgee shows an easy/simple delivery down the mound, allowing him an easier feel to throw for strikes. Along with his fastball, he offers a changeup and curveball to his arsenal. Mcgee has tremendous upside and projectability as he keeps progressing going into the 2026 season and further beyond that.

Bryce Hampton, 1B/OF, 2029, Walton
