Roy
Thurman

2017 Spring Scout Blog:  
Uncommitted senior gave the Panthers their best at bats, working a single and a walk.  Continues to impress with bat speed and juice in the box.  Big, smooth load.  Shortens up with two strikes.  Barrel stays in the zone.  Uphill path.  Defensively, Thurman made a handful of difficult plays in both gaps.  Quick feet, good routes to ball.

The 6-foot, 200 pound unsigned senior went 2-2 with two walks and two home runs on line drives to left field.  Thurman hit the only two mistakes out of the park, as he was pitched around all game.  Starts with an open, athletic setup in the box.  Featuring a hanging leg kick, he gets the foot down on time after hands load back.  Creates an uphill path with a fast barrel.  Explosive lower half.  Has legitimate pull side pop.  Average balance.  Laid off several pitches out of the zone.
