A future Juco product w/ length and levers. Power to the pull side w/ gap-2-gap approach. Clean actions at 3B/1B and when only progress as he goes to Cowley adds weight to the projectable frame.

‘25 OF Charlie Graves (@FayDogBaseball | @PBR_Uncommitted) singles to center to push across Fayetteville’s first run.

An uncommitted OF, athleticism carries Graves. A guy who can hit against any arm he's seen. Flat bat path w/ quick bat speed. Athletic mover in the outfield w/ advanced routes

Crafton is one of the most underrated hitters in the state. + speed w/ maturity. Physciality has progressed along w/ approach and feel for the zone.

 ‘24 OF Spencer Mounce (@HeritageWar | @CowleyBaseball) goes 4-4 today with a 2B and an RBI.

Spencer Mounce has proven to be a great hitter nomatter the arm he sees. Middle approach w/ power to the pull side and ability to hit to the opposite field due barrel adjustments. The more AB's he gets, the more he will develop.

‘24 INF Ethan Martin (@HeritageWar | @PBR_Uncommitted) sends a sac fly to center to extend the lead for Heritage.

An uncommitted MIF with high IQ and steaky athleticism. A mature approach at the plate w/ discipline and will be a + hitter as he grows and matures. Defensively, he shows good footwork and soft hands with good internal clock.

‘26 OF Cooper Mann (@HeritageWar | @PBR_Uncommitted ) with an RBI single up the middle. Mann also hit a HR in the 1st

Mann is a physical, athletic sophomore that will be player to keep an eye on as he develops. pic.twitter.com/VrVd8odoVx

— PBR Arkansas (@PrepBaseballAR) April 16, 2024

A physcial sophomore with definite tools. Mann hit a home run to left off a middle-in FB and still shows an advanced appraoch at the plate w/ pitch recognition and discipline. Mann will be grow physicaly and will be a must watch player.

‘24 | OF | Brooks Ward | @Rockets_BSB
(@AF_Baseball commit)

Ward laces this ball down the RF line to start the offense for the Rockets.

Brooks Ward, future AF Falcon, has always been an advanced hitter but the physicality has progressed and he has seen his game advance. Power to the pull side w/ ability to hit to opposite field w/ goo feel for the barrel

‘24 | RHP | Brooks Walker | @JoeTbaseball (@UARMBaseball commit)

Walker has settled in here through 3, flashing a + CH.

FB- 84-85
SL- 75-77
CH- 77 pic.twitter.com/lMS90ZB0mn

— PBR Arkansas (@PrepBaseballAR) April 18, 2024

A talented arm with clean, effortless movements. FB has ASR and decent RPM's to go along with a SL and CH that he was able to command well. CH flashed sink when down in zone. More upside to come w/ Juco route in place.
