2021 RHP David Hagaman (Cedar Creek HS, NJ) was 85-87 touching 88 in his two innings of work. Hagaman's lanky, athletic frame at 6-foot-4 195-pounds and clean, easy arm made him a player to watch throughout the event. Hagaman punched out the side in the first inning, utilitizing a sharp, late slider at 75-77 with 11/5 action.

2021 RHP Ryan Rumsey (Paul VI HS, NJ) was consitiently 86-88 in his two innings of work. Flashed a smaller, gradual 10/4 curveball at 70-72 and mixed in a changeup with ASR at 71-73. Rumsey pounded the lower half of the zone from a high-3/4 slot.

David Zamora closed the game out in an inning of work. Fastball showed some late life at 82-84 and spun a slider at 69-72 MPH with 11/5 depth.
