Jake Rongaus, 2B/SS, Ringgold HS (PA)

Went 1-for-2 with a walk in game action and ran a 7.46 60-yard dash. Displayed developing defensive skill set with 68 mph arm strength across the diamond. Long, lanky frame should continue to develop leading to significant advancement in all skill areas moving forward.
