PBRT Alabama Open: Day 3 Standouts
June 13, 2022
ALBERTVILLE, AL - The PBRT Alabama Open wrapped up play with bracket play and some consolation games on Sunday in Albertville, AL at the state-of-the-art Sand Mountain Sports Complex, which features four artificial-turf fields. It was another picture-perfect day of baseball with great weather for the final day of play over the two age divisions (15U & 17U). Our scouts were on hand for all games played, and there were plenty of standout performances throughout the day, both at the plate and on the mound. Teams and players were well-represented throughout the southeast part of the country, making for a perfect day of baseball.
OF Miller Spence, Knoxville Catholic (TN), 2023
Uncommitted. 5-foot-9, 165-pounds, athletic & compact frame, top-of-the-order type presence. Saved his best for last this past weekend hitting in the leadoff spot for Diamond-Simcox 17U with a two-RBI triple down the RF line in the later innings to extend their lead in the 17U Championship. Starts upright with his stance hitting in the left side of the box, uses a quick toe tap trigger for load, meets ball in the middle of the zone with a quick barrel with a bit of an upward finish. Plays the game hard and fast.

RHP/INF William Webb, Hardin Valley (TN), 2023
Uncommitted. 6-foot-0, 150-pounds, athletic and wiry frame, did a number of things well in the 17U Championship with intriguing two-way ability. Facing a talented lineup filled with quality left-handed hitters, Webb was efficient going 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB & 3 Ks en route to earning the W while needing just 80 pitches. He worked around the 82-84 mph range early on with tailing action, mixed in low-70’s breaking ball with 11-5 shape, and turned over a few quality changeups at 78 mph. Helped out his cause offensively going 2-for-3 with an RBI and run scored for Diamond-Simcox 17U.

Watts also turned in three additional RBI’s over the weekend.
