Quick Hits 

Conner Bennett, C, Oak Ridge, 2023
Small framed catcher that showed some natural tools on the day. Behind the plate received the ball well in a comfortable calm setup with quiet hands. Showed natural rhythm and a middle of the field approach in BP, barrel worked through the ball and created backspin line drives consistently.

Athletic infielder that came out of the gates and ran a 6.88 60-yard dash. Also showed an 86 mph exit velocity as well as throwing 80 mph across the infield. Throws with a  long arm path but his athleticism will play at many different positions on the field.

6-foot-1 athletic outfielder, ran a 6.7 to start his day.  Showed some bright spots as well as things that can be improved upon but overall had a nice showing of tools and natural athleticism. Has a natural rhythm in the box as well as feel for the barrel. Made consistent hard contact during BP.

Garet Boehm, SS/RHP, Hutto, 2023
6-foot-1 loose, athletic, projectable frame. Has a natural feel for the game of baseball and plays hard. As a position player, showed 84 mph throws across the diamond as well as an 87 mph exit velo. On the mound showed a repeatable delivery with an over the top arm slot and feel for the strike zone.
