Fall Uncommitted Only North MS Showcase Recap
November 9, 2020
Several new players showed up Saturday at Northwest MS CC in Senatobia for our Fall Uncommitted Only (North) Showcase and did not disappoint. Many of these young men are headed towards a commitment table soon! Here's a look at a few (but not all) standouts from the event...
Gabe Wright, a 2022 RHP out of DeSoto Central turned some heads with a fastball that reached 86 mph and great feel for a breaking ball with some very tight 11/5 spin.

Cy Craig, a 2022 Future Games participant, looked steady as always. Don't let his small frame fool you, this young man packs some punch! The Jackson Prep product is an early in the order hitter that can put one over the wall as well.

Hudson Mattox (2023) was arguably the top prospect at the event. The Kirk Academy sophomore looked great on the mound with a very mature slider with lots of bite and a fastball that sat 83-84 mph. Mattox also showed plenty of pop at the plate sending a few balls over the wall with an event best 92 exit velocity.

Drake Douglas (2023) has a lanky frame that screams there's more of everything coming! The Saltillo product was up the 82 mph with his fastball and displayed a breaking ball with lots of depth. Another pitcher that looks good at the plate as well with a solid line drive approach.
