- Prospect Notes - 

- 6-foot-5 RHP Ben Shenosky (2022) is sitting 78-81 from a an easy, repeatable 3/4 delivery. Showing feel for his changeup at 70-72 and a slurve at 62-65. Has allowed 2 hits through 3 scoreless innings.

- 6-foot-3 RHP Dinzey Feliz (2022) has allowed 2 runs through 3 complete innings. Sitting 79-82 out of a 3/4 arm slot with some hip swivel and a high knee stack. Shows feel for a changeup at 70-71 and a curveball with 11/5 rotation at 69-72.

- Shenosky is still in complete command through 5 innings, allowing just 2 hits. Fastball velo has dipped to 77-78, but still showing command of slurve and changeup.

- 6-foot-3 RHP Brady Bendik (2022) works the 4th and 5th for GoWags sitting 77-79 from an over-the-top slot with heavy cut to his fastball. 

- Pair of 2022 catchers have stood out in this one. Ryan Flury (Bombers) and RJ Rickabaugh (GoWags) both show above average receiving skills and advanced catch and throw abilities. Flury has some juice in his right-hand swing and Rickabaugh has similar offensive abilities from the left-hand side.

- OF Vince Fattore (2022), who will play for Team PA in the PBR Future Games this August, showed off his raw power with a stand up triple to the right center gap. Also showcased his foot speed with a 4.52 turn at 1B.

- 2022 OF Charlie Evans (GoWags) has picked up where he left off at last week's Eastern PA Top Prospect Games barreling everything. Direct, repeatable stroke has led to a pair of line drive singles in his first two at bats. Evans has also been all over the outfield, tracking balls well and showing the potential to be a quality center fielder at the next level.

- Prospect Notes

- 2022 SS Ryan Weingartner has put together a solid day. He shows solid range and above average arm strength defensively. The right-handed hitter has shown solid barrel awareness at the plate and the ability to use all fields.

- 2021 C/CIF Carlos Cruz has shown versatility defensively. The primary catcher is athletic enough to move out from behind the plate and play multiple positions. Offensively Cruz has gone 3-for-3 with a walk on the day. 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame has room to add strength.
