Taking a Look at the Pre-Season ID Showcase Top Performers
February 5, 2020
1. Braden Montgomery (Madison Central, 2022)
Montgomery’s ability to affect each game in many capacities is why he’s our #1. Armed with an explosive fastball and accurate arm from the outfield, defensively he sets himself apart. The Stanford commit also possesses gap to gap power potential from both sides of the plate.

The right handed pitcher caught some eyes and will be a hot commodity very soon. With a frame that will continue to solidify, the freshmen sat at 83-84 mph on the mound with solid secondary stuff.

7. Adam May (Magee, 2021)
May was one of the more versatile players at the event and should begin to receive lots of attention from college recruiters. He was very consistent across the board in many categories including a sub-7 60, 84mph fastball, and looked very polished defensively.

Another sturdy frame from the event, Smith’s 88 mph fastball was the second highest velocity of the day. Showed a very polished delivery and looks to have more in the tank.

10. Ross Highfill (Madison Central, 2022)
Another good looking receiver, Highfill’s 1.93 pop time was good for second on the day. Just a sophomore, look for that number to get a even better and more consistent. At the plate, Highfill looked very balanced and drove baseballs to all fields.
