In Addition
2022 Tyler Walker (Lancaster). Collects his 3rd hit in as many at bats. The speedy utility player has been a terror on the base paths, swiping 3 bags and scoring twice pic.twitter.com/ypbVofpMr7

2023 RHP Max Stoldt (Lancaster); prototypical starter build in the 6-foot-1 170 pound range. Works 76-78 with some ride through the zone. Showed low 60’s CB with short action. Competes on the bump. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/AoxiEjAJlF

2024 SS Alex Daugherty (Horseheads) is an intriguing player; rangy 6-foot-2 RHH with 2 hits in his first two at bats. Also showed soft hands and an arm that plays from the left side. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/HJvo7fyO67

2022 Jack Hickey (Penfield) is not overpowering but he has kept hitters off balance all day long. Consistently throwing three pitches for strikes in any count. Solid build with a lot more in the tank pic.twitter.com/MRnt354gog

2023 Andrew Hearn (Starpoint) is dominating at High Acres. Sitting mid 70s with great arm action. At the plate, Andrew is lightning quick through the zone. Covers a lot of ground in centerfield as well pic.twitter.com/59R5lYlqZf

2023 Derek DeFazio (New Hartford) has now reached base safely 5 times in two games today. Scrappy little lefty battles every pitch. Has played a solid 2B all day with plus range pic.twitter.com/SFCWza8nUP

2023 Malachi Motley (Canastota) is an interesting prospect. The rising sophomore oozes athleticism. On the mound he has filled it up early. Was in centerfield for the Jr. Chiefs during their first game. Electric speed on the bases. Very raw skill, high ceiling pic.twitter.com/gbUzL9N8lN

2024 INF Tyler Vivacqua (Canastota) has looked good on the left side of the infield; hands work out in front and throws have carry. Just misses one off the end of the bat here. Also first one out of the dugout on the field every inning ✅. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/lxArCPcWx1

2023 Collin Crowley (Penfield) is looking to add to his day. His first at bat was a 2 RBI opposite field triple. Up and down stance that uses his length to his advantage pic.twitter.com/nAAF1pt0Tx

More speed for the Jr. Griffs. Another infield 1B plates 1. This time, 2022 David Alessi (St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute). A solid defender at multiple positions who runs really well. Walking away today impressed by how hard he plays and how good of a teammate he appears to be pic.twitter.com/novBXvuh7O

2022 Aiden Pellow (Penfield) sitting upper 70s has all his pitches working today. He has some pop at the plate from the right side. Potential two-way guy in college. pic.twitter.com/ymlMikYp4Z

2024 INF Owen Birchard (Auburn) has had a solid day; quality AB’s and has shown range/arm up the middle but also knows his way around the bag at 1B. Long term points towards 3B. Older brother Ryan a 2019 Team NY Future Game member. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/tQAqVkkisR
