QUICK HITS

A couple other breakout performers caught our attention and emerged as spring follows...

- '24 C JJ Hunter (LaSalle Institute) featured a short, direct bat path with ability to repeat from the right side. Worked through the middle of the field for a top exit velo of 94MPH, then hovered in the low-2.00's with 75MPH arm-strength. Physical 5-foot-11, 200lb frame that should stick behind dish.

- '25 LHP Steven Bronson (Beekmantown) showed immense upside with 83-84MPH FB and smooth arm-stroke. Feel for a budding CH and there's plenty more to come strength wise to the body. A lefty to know in the class who could go quickly.
