Southeastern Louisiana commit. 6’2” 210 pound frame. Sturdy and durable. Impressed during his start in the 17u championship. Worked with some really athletic movements down the mound, and he had the entire arsenal working to secure a championship for his team. The fastball worked 86-88 t90 with ~20IVB, allowing him to miss a lot of bats underneath. The slider worked in the 77-80 range with a bit of carry and 10 inches of sweep. He seemed comfortable with it and went to it often. Threw it up in the zone a good bit, and got some really ugly swings as hitters couldn’t seem to figure out whether to swing or take. He also mixed in a curveball, thrown at 73-74 with 11/5 shape. Had a very impressive weekend.
Southeastern Louisiana commit. Batting in the 4 hole of a potent Excel 17U lineup, filled with commits top to bottom. Henson showed out, as did the rest of the lineup. Not your prototypical clean-up hitter, but Henson thrives in this role as the SS displays power coupled with the ability to reach base at tremendous rate. Swing and miss is not an issue, due to an impressive approach with 2-strikes. Not afraid to go down 0-2, the slugger simplifies the approach, widens the stance, and stays compact, having the ability to fight balls off until the right pitch. The former future gamer also showed an advanced understanding of the strike-zone. Henson found himself in multiple two strike counts and because of this advanced two strike approach, was able to reach both times. Working a walk and producing a backside double for an RBI.
