Uncommitted. Gantt made his presence felt across both games on day 2, launching a HR in game one as the Chiefs put on an highly impressive offensive output against a solid North Forsyth pitching lineup. Later in the evening, followed it up with two triples hard pullside, both north of 90 EV with one registering 99 and just missing leaving the yard. He brings a firm presence in the box and competes through every at bat, grinding out gritty plate appearances. The strength plays to all fields and the ball jumps off his barrel when he squares it. Gantt continues to trend upward as a middle piece of Sequoyah’s order, boasting a bat that can change a game with one swing.
