Players participated in bullpens on Friday night, went through a full pro-style workout on Saturday, and finally ended the weekend on Sunday with a game.
Below is a breakdown of the 2020/2021s in attendance that added the PBR Upgrade option:

Austin Tanner RHP / 3B / Windermere Prep, FL / 2020Stands at 5-foot-11, 155 pounds with a lean, athletic build. From the mound he has an up-tempo windup with a big leg kick along with some extension out in front on his delivery. Throws from the high ¾ slot with short, quick arm action. Attacks hitters. Fastball mostly sat 78-80 mph along with a 69-70 mph curveball that showed shape. Clock in at 7.55 seconds for his 60 yard dash time. From the outfield he took good routes to the ball and showed carry on his throws that topped out at 79 mph. In the infield he fielded the ball with confidence and under control with accurate throws to the bag topping out at 74 mph. At the plate he shows a short, quick swing through the zone with line drive potential. His athleticism and presence on the mound will continue to make him a good follow. |

Drew Dizney SS / 2B / The First Academy, FL / 2020Stands at 5-foot-9, 148 pounds with athleticism. Simple windup and repeats well. Featured a fastball that sat 76-79 mph along with a 66-67 mph curveball and a 73-74 mph change up that showed some fade. At times can fall off the first base side, but when he lands in line has a good command of the strike zone. At the plate starts from a slightly open stance with quick hands through the zone which lead to consistent contact during practice. Shows actions in the field where he ranged to his right and left while making the plays with accurate throws that topped out at 73 mph across the diamond. |

Jacob Crews 1B / RHP / West Orange , FL / 2021Stands at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds on a large, strong frame. At the plate starts from a wide stance with a small leg kick for his load. Strength in his swing and when he is on time, can really square the ball up. Ball jumps off the bat and has an uphill path through the zone after contact. Power potential. On the mound has a simple windup with a big leg kick in his delivery. Fastball mostly sat in 76-78 mph range with some run while mixing in a 67-69 mph curveball and a 71-72 mph changeup. Lands in line most of the time, but occasionally can fall off to the third base side on his follow through. Strong, young player to follow as he continues to mature. |
