Easley Baseball Club Scout Day
June 6, 2021
After spending the day with Easley Baseball Club one thing was evident, they have plenty of arms and speed. Players from graduation classes 2022 through 2026 were invited and 29 arms came in at 80 mph or above, led by uncommitted 2022 Landon Houston of Marshall Academy at 89 mph. Several underclassmen registered above average velocities including 2024 Hank Eaton (87 mph), 2024 Cayden Baker (86 mph), 2024 Gunner Gilmore (86 mph), 2025 Cooper Waddle (85 mph), and 2025 Luke Romine (84 mph).
EBC looks like they will run a good bit this summer as well. 23 players came in with sub 7 60 times led by uncommitted 2021 Kyle Tolley who recorded a 6.4. Several speedsters came in below 6.7 including 2023 Ryan Moore (6.60), 2023 Colton Coates (6.62), 2023 Brennon Wright (6.65), and 2023 Aaron Lipke (6.68).
Although arms and speed may have highlighted the event, don’t sleep on the EBC bats. Some pretty impressive sticks showed out this past weekend also. One hitter that stood out was 2023 Hudson Brown. The uncommitted 6’5” first basemen from Northpoint Christian had plenty of leverage and slight launch to his swing that could result in big time power numbers. Brown also had the highest exit velocity of the day at 93 mph. Other players that displayed some plus pop included 2023 Ryan Moore (92 mph), 2025 Gabe Boyd (91 mph), 2022 Landon Houston (91 mph), 2022 Rusty Bolden (90 mph), 2023 Walker Maranto (90 mph), and 2022 Jace Littlefield (90 mph).
Hallas Lawson, a 2020 Junior Future Game participant, led a group of solid catchers with some very athletic and speedy footwork behind the plate. The 2024 from Hernando, was very consistent with his pop times to second ranging from 2.00 to 2.1. Other standouts behind the dish included 2023 Josh King (2.05), 2023 Cole Manuel (2.07), and 2022 Warner Michael (2.09).
Best of luck to all EBC players this summer as we will definitely be out watching!
