Caleb Hudson: 3-3, 2 doubles, 2 R, 1 RBI
-
Lee Holt - 2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI
-
Braxton Glaze - 1-1, 1 RBI
Caleb Hudson, OF/SS, Carrollton, 2027
Uncommitted. High-waisted, but smaller frame with athleticism and plenty of room to fill out. Stands balanced at the plate with some flex in his knees and a high back elbow. Sinks into his back knee as he loads and strides, creating quality connection between his front foot and as he comes thru in his swing. Short path in the zone with a nice approach, able to square balls up in any quadrant and shoot them to all parts of the ballpark. Quick hands with some strength as well, an exciting ballplayer to keep an eye on as he ages.
‘27 SS Caleb Hudson(@1trojanbaseball) the boss of barrels out here working himself into FB counts and not missing when they come into his wheelhouse! 3rd hit of the day is a 2B - shows exceptional hand eye & backside connection. Kid can zoom around the diamond #PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/ReBEH8hJXA

Lee Holt, C/RHP, Kings Ridge Christian, 2027
Uncommitted. Tall frame at 6-foot, 150-pounds with natural strength. Stands balanced at the dish with his knees pointed inward, creating an easy transition to stay loose during his swing. Medium leg kick with a chest load, landing soft on plant foot. In control of the barrel with his loose wrists, can change plane easily and can match pitch height wherever its located in the zone.
‘27 C/RHP Lee Holt (@KRCSbaseball) knocks a hard grounder thru the 6-hole and rolls all the way to the wall for a triple.

Natural strength in frame w/ plenty of room to add on and mature. Loose wrists control the barrel well, big time power potential moving forward.#PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/pCe0Xr58JQ
Miller Greene, 1B, Jones County, 2027
Uncommitted. Strong, but still maturing frame at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds. Leans slightly back in setup but is balanced and tall in his stance with a high back elbow. Does a nice job keeping his weight back as he strides, as that power stays uncorked before letting loose with his swing. Big power potential based on his frame alone, but his quick swing suggests its coming sooner rather than later.
‘27 1B/LHP Miller Greene (Jones Co.) made hard contact a few times today in his first few JFG ABs today.

Strong, mature frame with room to add at 6-2 185lbs. Short swing with a quick bat. As his rhythm and timing become more in sync, the power potential is real.#PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/C29Mr2IxrI
Team Georgia 1 14u 10, Oklahoma 9
A back and forth affair from the first pitch with several lead changes throughout, was a game of momentum. Team Georgia jumped in front 8-4 in the T4 before giving the lead right back in the bottom half. The game was 9-8 in favor of Oklahoma heading to the top of the 5th before a Cam Jackson walk and Branson Crawford double set up runners on 2nd and 3rd. A passed ball scored Jackson to tie the game, then Garrett Ray delivers the go-ahead blow with a base hit to put Team Georgia up 10-9. Ray would then hop on the mound to secure the final 3 outs and sealed the victory for Georgia’s 14u 1 team.

Christian Starks: 1-3, 2 RBI single

Ty Mobley: 1-3, 2 RBI single

Brody Brant: 1-2, triple, 1 RBI
Christian Starks, MIF/RHP, Pickens, 2026
Uncommitted. Has a relaxed and quiet set up at the plate. Little to no movement pre pitch. His hips and hands stay connected. Keeps the barrel in the zone a long time. Twitchy swing, really jumps on the fastball. Handled good velocity with ease, able to shoot an 81mph fastball back up the middle for a bases loaded RBI. Big power potential in his strong frame.
#uncommitted ‘26 MIF/RHP Christian Starks. (@GeorgiaJackets). Relaxed and quiet before the pitch. Hips and hands stay connected. Barrel in zone a long time. Hammered this bases loaded single to come up clutch for Team Georgia in game 2. @PBR_Uncommitted #PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/pFUNT0MYvx

Branson Crawford, Catcher, Gainesville, 2026
Uncommitted. Smoked a double into the RCF gap that would send the tying run to 3rd base and put himself, the go ahead run, in scoring position. He would eventually come around to score and put Team Georgia ahead 10-9 going into the final inning. Crawford possesses a smooth stroke at the plate with a balanced approach that does not see him cheat early. Has also posted pop times as low as the 1.9’s which is very intriguing for a catching prospect his age!
#uncommited ‘26 Catcher Branson Crawford w/ a ? in the RF gap for a 2B to bring the tying run to 3rd base.

Garrett Ray, RHP/OF, Creekview, 2026
Uncommitted. Ray showed a lot of poise in his second inning of work during Wednesday nights game. Hit the go ahead 2 RBI single in the top half of the inning and then came in to shut the door against team Oklahoma in the final inning to give Team Georgia the win! Ray sat 74-77 with the FB and his final out of the game, a strikeout, came on his fastest pitch of the day at 78mph. Athletic mover whose velo will only continue to grow as he matures!
#uncommitted ‘26 OF Garrett Ray. (@Official_ECB). Huge knock to score the go ahead run in Team Georgia vs Team Oklahoma. Handling the velo with ease. @PBR_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/W9cDQToC9f

Team Georgia 2 14u 3, Wisconsin 9
Unfortunately for Team Georgia, the bats could not stay alive long enough. Starting pitcher Maverick Chitwood displayed some resilience through his first couple of innings which resulted in some errors behind him. Line drives continued to test the Wisconsin outfielders, but they answered the call. Tough outs and defensive plays are common in the game of baseball and hopefully we will be able to bounce back tomorrow night!

Jordan Walker: 1-2, triple, 1 R

Robert Bock: 0-0, 2 walks, 1 R
Jordan Walker, OF/LHP, Hillgrove, 2026
Uncommitted. Athletic wiry frame. Starts tall and stays tall at the plate. He coils/ sinks into his back hip. He has an efficient barrel path and his hands fire through the zone. Shows ability to create good launch angle. He hammered a ball over the center fielders head for a triple for Team Georgia. Took long athletic strides around the bases, future good runner.
#uncommitted ‘26 OF/LHP Jordan Walker. (@USASCOUTGA). Starts tall and stays tall. Coils/sinks into backside. Hands fire through zone aggressively. Shows good strength to drive this over the center fielders head for a triple. Future good runner. #PBRJFG22 @PBR_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/8yUJmCVOg3

Harry Jones, RHP/IF, Mceachern, 2026
Uncommitted. Jones possesses a lot of raw upside both in the field and on the mound. He was up to 83mph and sat 78-81 with sinking life low in the zone. Wiry, loose frame that only projects for him to get stronger+bigger in the future. His SL proved to be a swing and miss weapon in the low 70’s with up to 2400 spin and late downer sweep. A prospect I am sure the rest of Georgia will know about fairly soon!
#uncommitted ‘26 SS/RHP Harry Jones Jr. (@canessoutheast). Tall athletic frame. Looked confident on the mound. Long circle AA from a over the top AS. Attacked hitters w/ FB 78-81 T83 w/ bore. Flashed high spin SL 70-73 (2200-2400rpm). Much more in arm. @PBR_Uncommitted #PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/brmGnUnJ4y

Kenny Foudy, C, North Hall, 2026
Uncommitted. The catcher was finding barrels all night for Team Georgia. He has good rhythm before the pitch. He sinks into his backside and his hands work back into a great launch position. Twitchy swing at the dish. Hammered multiple line drives, handling the fastball with ease and showing a lot of confidence both at the plate and behind it. Moved well and looked athletic at catcher. Big bat to keep an eye on.
#uncommitted ‘26 C Kenny Foudy. (@nthbaseball). Good rhythm before the pitch. Twitchy swing. Hands sink into great launch position. Finding barrels early in the Team Georgia vs Team Wisconsin game. @PBR_Uncommitted #PBRJFG22 pic.twitter.com/Y2uDDIPQ6e
