QUICK HITS

- '26 RHP Henry Vail (Bronxville) stands a long, wiry 6-foot-1, 155-pounds with some carry to the FB at 2399rpms. Worked up to T81MPH, good enough for a 50% zone rate, and mixed future advanced 72-74MPH SL. Quality CH in back pocket as well, hard fade to arm-side.

- '24 LHP Jordan Hughes (Whitesboro) owns a massive ceiling at 6-foot-4, 205-pounds. Imposing, tall-waisted build that gets down the mound. Steep angle to an 81-84MPH FB and there's much more in the tank. Added developing CB/SL with short lateral movement. Effortless actions, which lands him as a "close follow" throughout the spring.

- '24 RHP Brendan Rusnack (New Paltz) utilized some hip-coil in delivery to create heavy life. An 82-84MPH FB darted late in on RH batter's box, along with upper-70's CH from same window. Real feel to pronate, flashing occasional SL from lower slot.
