Jackson Hubbard 3B / RHP / Sayre Area, PA / 2023

2023 RHP Jackson Hubbard (Sayre) with a gutsy effort this morning after a rocky 1st inning. Wiry, athletic frame at 6-0 160lbs who can run and sink the FB at 80-83 MPH. Effective at times with a backup breaking ball in the 65-68 MPH range. @PBRPennsylvania pic.twitter.com/YczuCfu5rX

Cole Yennaco C / RHP / Pinkerton Academy, NH / 2023

2023 C/RHP Cole Yennaco (Pinkerton Academy, NH) has put together a solid weekend so far both behind the plate & in the box.

The Merrimack College commit hopped on the bump for a tidy inning sitting 83-85 MPH w/ a late action breaker that produced swings/misses. @PBR_NewEngland pic.twitter.com/csnCoZkIBs

Justin Hernandez C / 3B / Inwood Early College, NY / 2021

‘24 RHP Justin Hernandez (St. John’s Prep HS) @PBRNewYork @pbrt_east #BeSeen

Threw FB 81-83 (T85) with limited use of SL (71-73). SL had late break when released on time. Variable command of glove and arm side FB. Needs to learn how to use off-speed w/ improved FB command. pic.twitter.com/TjBGrIlZnV

‘23 OF Jacob Albert (Pinkerton Academy) @PBRNewYork @PBRNEScout #BeSeen

Jacob has serious speed (6.5 60 8/18/20) on bases and has good pop for his size. Hand speed is quick and is also a threat to bunt for a hit. Also made a great catch in the OF day 1. Keep ? on him. pic.twitter.com/x2njo7xEF7

81-83 FB (T84)
70-72 CH

Brooks Craigue SS / 2B / Concord , NH / 2023

‘23 Brooks Craigue (Concord HS) @PBRNewYork @PBRNEScout @pbrt_east #BeSeen

Brooks is scrappy and has pop for his size. Gets his hands quickly into hitting position frequently, hustles around the field, and his play stands out among his teammates. Keep ? on him. #WatchList pic.twitter.com/aLuZ1Zd0An

2SM: 80-81

Good Arm side command w/FB. 2SM downward movement is there. Minimal use of CB but tight when he has went to. Disrupts tempo of hitters well and works fast. pic.twitter.com/Oy1gIPtVe8
