Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 170-pounds. Interesting start on the mound during the semi-final game on Monday morning as the lefty showcased a two pitch mix that filled up the zone and generated weak contact. FB ran up to 81 with an arm-side run, showed good command that collected whiffs. CH was his go-to pitch at 72-70 with arm-side fade with slight drop-off that showed killed spin at 1400 rpm. The hit tool was present as well. Simple load that gets the front foot down on a top-half dominant swing. Strong internal rotation gets the hands out-front with quickness to smoke balls off the barrel for loud exits. Showed low 90 EV’s throughout the weekend.
The 2023 Junior Future Gamers has seemingly fallen right into a varsity line up at Locust Grove. The maturity and confidence stands out, and really made an impact this weekend at the plate. He has added a slight leg lift since we last saw him at Preseason All-State and seems to have really helped his timing against varsity arms. The frame continues to develop, and we could see him be a real power threat in the years to come. He battled to a 3-2 count, and drove a ball the other way, showing the ability to adjust and drive the pitch where it’s thrown. Collier will continue to climb the ranks in the ‘27 class, especially after a year full of varsity experience this season.

5-foot-10, 168 pounds. Collier had an impressive day at the plate yesterday for Georgia’s Junior Future Games team and followed it up with a competitive outing on the mound today. Collier came in for a relief appearance and was able to catch hitters off balance. He showed a nice combo of FB and CB getting hitters to whiff. Collier displays a ¾ arm slot and can command the zone well. He will be a fun LHP to watch as he continues to develop.
5-foot-10, 168 pounds. LHH that had an impressive day at the plate in game 1 against Connecticut. Tall, athletic frame for his age that was able to consistently square up balls to all fields. In his first ab, Collier smoked one into the gap for a bases clearing double to extend Georgia’s lead. In his next ab, Collier drove one through the infield with an exit velocity of 107 mph (Drop 5). Collier displays a simplified swing and controlled load that allows him to get consistent high ev’s. Collier’s efforts helped lead Georgia to a comfortable win in game 1 of the Junior Future Games.
