Staff

Emerson, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff hosted the lakepoint Summer I.D at Lakepoint Sports on May 28th. This event was an opportunity to see players from the 2026-2029 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw short bullpens with Trackman. 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 Wednesday.

Today, we will begin the event post event content with our Quick Hits article, which is some quick 1st impressions from our scouting staff.

Quick Hits

Collins Clark, 1B/LHP, 2027, Deerfield Windsor High School
Clark stands in at a strong 6-foot-2 195-pounds and showed some serious power in his round of BP here at the Lakepoint Summer ID. He utilizes a very simple swing creating good separation and utilizes his quick hands to generate his power. Simply just a smooth LHH swing with so much to love about it. The simplicity of this swing makes it easy to imagine that this swing will translate at the next level. Clark peppered balls to the wall his entire round of BP and capped off with a 99.6 EV 380 ft bomb. Also up to 82.4 on the bump with a CB that plays.

Donavan VanSyoc (AL), C/1B, 2026, Thompson High School
Uncommitted. VanSyoc easily had one of the most impressive rounds of BP on the day. He has an XL frame at 6-foot-5 228-pounds. At the plate he made everyone tune in just leaving the yard with ease. He hit multiple balls out on a line and hit is furthest of the day at 96.9 EV traveling 382 ft. VanSyoc utilizes a wide, slightly closed base and works against his frontside well. His violent swing showed some consistency as well with a 86% Hard Hit%. With such a physical frame and consistency all over the barrel with authority, VanSyoc is a must follow uncommitted 2026 out of the state of Alabama.

Bryce Garrison, C/OF, 2027, Jackson County High School
The left-handed hitting catcher stands at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds and showcased some of the most impressive raw power during BP. He launched multiple balls out of the yard and also, he recorded a 98 mph exit velocity home run that traveled 370 feet. In the box, he features a slight leg kick, gets into a strong hinge position, and utilizes his entire body to generate power. He stays through the ball well with quick hands and consistently keeps the barrel on plane. Athletically, he ran a 6.78 60-yard dash and recorded a 76 mph catcher velocity and a 2.02 catcher poptime.

Aiden Kitchens, C/3B, 2026, North Forsyth High School
Uncommitted. All in all, he put together one of the best showcase performances of the day. With an athletic and physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, he consistently barreled balls during batting practice, including a home run that traveled 345 feet with a 98 mph exit velocity. Defensively, he posted a 1.95 pop time with an 82 mph catcher velocity and showed versatility with an infield velocity of 86 mph. He ran a 6.96 60-yard dash, clocked a 1.61 10-yard split, and reached a top speed of 19.9 mph. An explosive athlete behind the dish and a name to watch this summer.

Evan Wylie, LHP, 2028, Sequoyah High School
Wylie came out and impressed at the Summer ID showcase. He showcased three plus pitches on the mound, that included one of the best sliders in the 2028 class. The pitch with an average of 20 inches of horizontal movement was consistently landed in the zone for strikes, and works very well off of his fastball that had 15 inches of arm side movement sitting at 82-83 topping out at 84. This was a plus arm for the 2028 class, that will definitely be worth keeping an eye on for the summer.

Vincent Pirozzi, RHP/OF, 2028, Norcross High School
Coming as a potential two way player, Pirozzi impressed at this showcase. Up to 82 on the mound, 83 on the infield, and 88 exit velocity with the bat, he showed a little bit of everything and that he has no real weaknesses. The mound was where he really shined. Showcasing a fastball that had a lot of horizontal movement, a curveball that swept across the zone, and a changeup that kills spin and has great depth. The three pitch mix was very impressive and he showed that he is able to get swing and miss to both left and right handed hitters. Pirozzi will continue to grow and develop into a plus player.

Moxie McNealy, MIF, 2027, Redan
McNealy is an athletic MIF and switch hitter with great bat-to-ball skills from both sides of the plate. At 5-foot-9, 131-pounds, he shows quick hands and a contact driven approach. Moxie's smooth actions, footwork, and athleticism make him a versatile middle infielder. With plenty of room to fill out physically, McNealy offers high upside in the future and is a prospect to follow closely as he continues to mature and add strength.



Hayes Stephens, RHP/3B/SS, 2027, Mt Bethel Christian Academy
Uncommitted. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound pitcher and infielder shows great attributes on the baseball field. Pitching, he is a solid righty with a fastball that ranges from 76-78, a curveball around 66, and a serious changeup that sits from 67-70. His mechanics are fluent and he is a consistent strike thrower. As a right handed hitter, he shows efficient hands that gets the barrel through the zone. He has gap-to-gap abilities and is a speedy baserunner. Defensively, he is controlled with reliable glove work. He gets around the ball and has a rhythm leading up to this throw. Overall, he profiles a well-rounded athlete that will continue to improve. It will be exciting to see Stephens develop.

Josiah Patrick, OF/2B, 2027, Georgia Premier Academy
Uncommitted. The 5-foot-11, 172–pound outfielder has a strong all-around skill set. Patrick does a great job of producing hard hit balls, and utilizing the whole field. His swing is simple, yet effective, and he has the ability to generate consistent contact. Defensively, his arm is his strong suit, with a max OF velo of 89. He has vast range in the outfield, covering ground with ease and working through the ball to set up his throws. He has the ability to challenge runners with that ability in his game. He profiles a very dynamic player that will progressively get better. Patrick is a standout player for the class of 2027.

Joshua Tuttle, SS, 2026, Thompson (AL)
Uncommitted. Tuttle impressed at the Summer ID showcase, showing off impressive bat to ball skills and a plus pitch mix on the mound. The bat was consistent hitting line drives and spraying the ball from gap to gap. Was able to show off his ability to hit the ball hard, topping out at an EV of 91. His pitch mix on the mound was very impressive. The fastball sits in the mid 80s, with good spin and coming from a low ¾ slot that can deceive hitters. The feature pitch in the arsenal is his slider. The slider has impressive spin and is very sharp breaking glove side that he landed in zone. The changeup stays in the fastball tunnel well until it fades at the last second. Impressive two way potential player that will make his way onto teams radars very soon.

Jake Ivester, OF, 2027, Central
A really good athlete for the outfield. Has good speed in the outfield running a 6.8 60. Good acceleration to get to balls in the outfield quick, and a good arm throwing 89 from the OF. The bat was hot, finding the sweet spot 75% of swings. Consistent line drive hitter and hit some balls hard. Great athlete with a high ceiling in the outfield as a good defender.

Skyler Lee, C/2B, 2027, North Paulding
An impressive athlete behind the dish is a great defensive catcher to have with a good arm. Stays very smooth in his mechanics on throw downs, with the ability to block anything in the dirt and make a play on it. He averaged 2.03-2.07 on his pop times, and the arm was consistently putting throws where they needed to be. His bat proved to be a strength as well. He puts the ball in the air and hits the ball hard. Overall he is a plus defender at catcher, and can definitely hit his weight in the lineup as well.

Dekan Yeomans, SS, 2026, Wayne County
