Showed athleticism in the field while also consistently reaching base with a wide base stance and above average hand at the plate.
2014 1B/OF Jarod Yoakam (Marysville): Solid Bat. Great approach at the plate combined with size and power makes Yoakam a top prospect. Continued to barrel baseballs all day while showing good plate discipline.

CRIMSON TEAM SCOUTING REPORT

2014 IF Ricky Silvestri (CHCA): Good approach at the plate with a powerful load and fluid actions. Seems to be a force at the plate and is still transitioning and trying to find a position in the field.
2013 LHP/1B Tommy Crowl (Summit Country Day) - Had a solid and quiet upright swing which resulted in barreled baseballs. Possible dual threat at mid level collegiate baseball. 77-81,68BB.
2014 RHP Jeremy Randolph (Miamisburg): Live arm with 83-86 FB that touched up to 88 mph. Also showed 73-75 BB. Shows solid command of the zone and used breaking ball to keep hitters off balance in clever spots.
Navy Team Pitching Reports
2013 RHP Alex Mezcua (Mason)- 75-76 FB,63-65 BB. Showed good command and mowed through hitters. Used 12-6 BB to fool many hitters.

2014 RHP Braydon Focht (Northmont): 79-81 FB , 71-74 BB
2015 LHP Brandon Veda (Fenwick): 68-71 FB, 60 BB
BLUE TEAM SCOUTING REPORT
2014 OF/2B Sean Montgomery (Bishop Hartley): Solid scrappy player. Very impressive swings. Arguably the best approach all day with aggressive swings in hitter counts. Also showed the ability to track down balls in centerfield. Overall a very surprising player and a definite follow throughout the fall.
2013 1B Brock Frentzel (Gahanna Lincoln): Solid build with raw skills. Shows ability to create massive power; however inconsistency is currently his down side. Size and defense not being a liability make him an attractive power hitting left handed bat.

2013 RHP Alexander Staron (Athens): 73-75 FB, 65 BB
