Area Code Underclass: Yankees
August 23, 2022
With many of the country’s top future draft prospects in the 2024 & 2025 classes present in San Diego for the Underclass Area Code Games, PBR Vice President of Scouting, Shooter Hunt, was glued to the action with a front row seat. In total, seven teams competed with players from all around the country representing their region. The action was fast and furious with a full round of batting practice kicking things off before each team played four games in three days. The intense look provided even greater clarity as to who the next big MLB Draft prospects will be in coming years.

Tague Davis 1B / LHP / Malvern Prep, PA / 2024Whether at the plate or on the mound, Davis made a powerful impact on those watching, and has one of the highest ceilings on the east coast. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound two-way prospect worked 88-90 showing feel for a faded changeup (81-82, 1800 rpm) and tight, sweeping curveball (77-78, 3000+ rpm). Though not yet fully polished on the mound, there have been considerable strides made since his big PBR Future Games performance a year ago, and he has all the ingredients present for blossoming into a frontline arm. Similarly at the plate, the left-handed hitting Louisville recruit exhibited explosive power thanks to a whippy barrel that almost appears to get flicked through the zone. The ball sounds different coming off his bat, and there is huge power potential.
