C Coley Palmer (Princeville, 2027) Despite not even being in high school yet, Palmer fit right in with the older crowd throughout the event. Appearing completely unphased that he was at least one year younger than everyone in attendance and with a quiet confidence, Palmer took a mature round of defense from behind the dish with efficient footwork and a clean catch/throw. The 5-foot-10, 140-pound, long-limbed, right-handed hitter has a simple, athletic repeatable swing with a mature up-the-middle approach while staying flat through the zone. Young prospect to keep tabs on moving forward.
