Team Carolina Preview: Catchers

 

 

Bryan Arendt C / 3B / Holly Springs , NC / 2021 Rankings  StateRank: 8 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 335 / POS: 42 Physical 6-foot-1, 190 pounds.  Quickness exists having run a 6.83 sixty for PBR this past June.  Suffered a slight ankle issue a few weeks back that may limit him from running again but he should be good to go behind the dish.  Pop times have ranged in workouts from 1.90 - 2.04.  Exit velocity off the bat at 90 from the right handed hitter.

 

 

Justin Lehman C / RHP / Nation Ford, SC / 2021 Rankings  StateRank: 42 / POS: 4 Lanky 6-foot-2, 180 pound receiver with good bend in his hips.  Athletic with quickness behind the dish.  Workout pop times have ranged 1.95 - 2.02 with a positional velocity of 78 mph out of the crouch.  Ball can jump off the left handed hitter's bat with an exit velocity that has peaked at 91 mph

 

 

Team Carolina Preview: Duals

 

 

Michael Gracer 3B / 1B / Northwest Cabarrus, NC / 2021 Rankings  StateRank: 27 / POS: 2 The right hander's arm and bat were leaned on heavily in the high school season where he led Northwest Cabarrus back to the post-season.  The fastball has been up to 84, playing higher out of the hand with a hard, top to bottom breaking ball.  In the box, there are big "hitterish" tendencies with his rhythm, setup, and bat path.  The ball can jump off the barrel with a top end exit velocity posted at 96 mph.

 

 

Isaiah Lowe RHP / 3B / Christ School, NC / 2022 Rankings  StateRank: 31 / POS: 7 StateRank: 13 / POS: 5 Quite possibly the most out-of-date head shot in the PBR system, Lowe has matured and added physical strength in the past year, becoming a threat in the box and on the mound.  This summer he has turned heads with his performances at LakePoint, bumping 90 with more to come as the arm continues to quicken.  In the box, there is damage done when on the barrel.
