PB Mid-South Open: Scout Blog 📓

+ 2027 1B Hudson Snell (TN) showed up big for Beast driving multiple balls into the gap for extra base hits. Hudson hits from a narrow stance with high hands that he delivers to contact with quick twitch showing off above average bat speed. Standing at 6’4 205 lbs, Hudson fits perfectly in the middle of the lineup as an RBI machine. The hitting approach is unique as Hudson does a tremendous job staying on plane and using both gaps, not letting himself get too pull happy. Hudson is one of the best uncommitted power hitters in the state of Tennessee in the 2027 class.

+ 2027 MIF Jacen Edwards (MS) was a hit machine in this tournament and went 3-3 with an RBI in the game we got to see him. Jace is a true leadoff hitter that hits with a long stride but keeps his hands back well and stays on plane. The approach is elite as Jace has a knack for fouling pitches off until he gets the pitch he can handle. Everything that he hits stays low and to the middle of the field. Defensively, Jace made multiple difficult plays look easy, he should stick in the middle of the field. Jace will be a steal for the school that snags him.

+ 2029 INF Jack Roper (MS) has been impressive in the last couple of weekends as the power presence in the middle of a strong EBC 15U lineup. Jack has definitely grown with a thicker build with more room to fill out. At the plate, Jack has a simple approach hitting from a wide base and keeps his balance well. In one of his ABs, the wider base helped him stay on a breaking ball away that he deposited into the oppo gap for a triple showing real strength hitting from a strong base. Defensively, Jack looks to be a corner infielder long term that will play well with his strong arm.
