Uncommitted. An all around player Saturday morning. Started at 2B then moved into RF where he got to flash the glove and tracking ability, then came in to close the last two innings. FB topped at 82 but sat consistently at 80. CV collected a good amount of swing and misses while keeping hitters honest. CH was thrown sporadically at 77-76 with depth, really had hitters off-balanced and early for pop-fly outs and roll-over ground outs. Good day at the plate went 1-for-2 with a BB. Stays in his lower-half while showing quickness within the barrel. Quiet player, but makes plays and battles deep into counts. High off a hot spring with Thomas County Central and their state playoff run, looking to keep it rolling this summer.
