Staff

GAINESVILLE, GA - On Sunday, November 17th, the Prep Baseball Georgia staff traveled to North Hall high school to run a scout day with Sauce Athletics. A strong turnout that displayed quality glances with some of the area's top talent. Good impressions from those at every position. We are excited to see these young players continue to develop as they get ready for the high school season. Fall Scout Days are a great way to update profile metrics in preparation for numbers to improve on during the offseason. 

Today, we begin our post-event breakdown with a look at some of the instant performers from Sunday's event. Throughout the week we will continue our coverage with data dives on pitchers and position players, statistical analysis and more!

Andrew Brech, RHP/SS, 2027, Mountain View
Uncommitted. 5-foot-8, 164-pounds. Highly impressive showing on both sides of the ball from one of the top players in the state for the ‘27 class. At the plate, Brech belted two that left the yard with a max exit-velo of 94.3 (1st in event) and a max distance of 353 (1st in event). Utilizes a strong lower half with an excellent feel for the barrel to spray the ball to all-fields. Presented mature actions in the field with present arm-strength that produced an INF velo of 84 across the diamond. On the mound, Brech was also a standout flashing pure stuff with a three-pitch mix. The fastball sat 86-87 with 2300 + RPM. The SL showed bite at 74-75. The change-up was thrown at 81-83 with tumble. The sophomore shows smooth, repeatable mechanics with present above-average arm speed. A must know name.

Alex Furlong, LHP, 2027, King’s Ridge Christian
Uncommitted. There is substantial projection within the profile of Furlong. An imposing presence on the mound at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, the southpaw fires an intriguing three-pitch mix. The fastball sat 75-77 and topped at 78 with heavy arm-side run. The change-up played well off the fastball at 68-70. The slider was thrown over at 66-68. A quality mover on the bump with a feel for all three pitches. Name to keep an eye on who is only just a sophomore for a loaded King’s Ridge squad.

Eric Grunduski, SS, 2026, Cherokee Bluff
Uncommitted. A wiry athlete at 5-foot-9, 150-pounds with sneaky strength to project on. Grunduski rifled balls to the pull-side with ease posting a max exit velocity of 88.7 and a max distance of 339. Stays compact while being balanced through impact to generate good leverage through the zone. A smooth defender within the infield with soft hands and crisp actions throughout. The natural arm-strength was on full display as Grunduski posted an INF velo of 85 across the diamond with the ability to manipulate arm angles. Uncommitted name to keep an eye on.

Eyen Etris, SS/OF, 2028, North Hall
Uncommitted. 5-foot-6, 130-pounds. Compact, athletic frame. Moves really well with athletic actions across the board. He posted an outfield velocity of 84 and infield velocity of 80 during the defense portion of our scout day. At the plate, he sprayed line drives to all parts of the field. On the mound, Etris flashed an intriguing 4-pitch arsenal. The fastball sat 75-76 that showed ride through the zone with ‘’20 IVB. Change-up sat 69-71. Slider was thrown at 68. The curveball was flipped over at 61-66. An athletic mover on the mound with a quick arm stroke that should continue to add. Name to know over the next four years at North Hall.

Charles Culberson, C/OF, 2025, Peachtree Ridge
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 150-pounds. It was an impressive showing in all phases from the senior on Sunday afternoon. At the plate, Culberson blistered balls to the pull-side and collected a max exit-velocity of 90. Highlighted by present hand speed at the plate. The RHH creates good separation at the plate with impact in the barrel which generates considerable carry to the pull-side. Showcased a sub 2 pop time with clean, effortless actions behind the dish. Was first in the event with a 6.91 60 time. Culberson is a versatile piece on the diamond and will be a good addition for any team at the next level.

Cash Unruh, C, 2026, Tallulah Falls
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 180-pounds. The physical backstop had a quality showing at the plate and produced a max exit-velocity of 89.2. An impressive presence in the box with an obvious hit/power profile. Unruh shows tremendous feel for the barrel with the ability to move the barrel around the zone. Utilizes a strong lower-half with present ground-force strength to spray the ball to all-fields with pull-side present. An athletic mover behind the dish with clean footwork and smooth mechanics. Looks to be a key contributor on both sides of the ball for Tallulah Falls for the next two years.

Connor Toldeo, MIF, 2028, West Hall
5-foot-8 135-pounds. Toledo showcased all the right actions both in the field and at the plate. He posted a 7.31 60-yard dash, which landed him in the top 10, and the top time for the 2028’s at the event. He is an athletic mover that will continue to get better with added size/strength, which will come naturally as he continues to grow. The swing at the plate is simple and compact with minimal movement that keeps him on time consistently.

Tyson Jakes, OF, 2028, Mill Creek
5-foot-9 145-pounds. Jakes is a 3 sport athlete, and showcased the athleticism throughout the day. He was a strong runner with a powerful first step off the line. He created good separation at the plate with a strong lower half. He posted a max distance of 278ft and a max exit velocity of 83.4. Jakes will be one to keep an eye on as he moves into his freshman year at Mill Creek.
