This weekend Prep Baseball Report Louisiana spent time at numerous games in the southeast Louisiana area, which mainly included games in the WGNO classic.

Below are some notes taken for this weekend, and a few noteworthy performances that were sent into to us.

+ St. Thomas Aquinas RHP Alex Egan (2018) was extremely impressive against John Curtis on Friday. He went 6 innings, giving up 3 hits, 1 BB, 0 runs and struck out 7. Showed clean arm action with 82-84 mph fastball and quality command of 3 pitches. He worked with outstanding pace and tempo, and showed advanced pitchability.

+ St. Thomas Aquinas INF Champ Artigues (2018) showed quality defensive skills, and a simple, flat left-handed stroke that made hard contact on several occasions.

+ Donald Roberts, another left-handed hitter for St. Thomas Aquinas, showed a flat bat path on the way to making solid contact on a couple occasions as well.

+ Baton Rouge CC commit and John Curtis OF Mason Matherne (2016) made an outstanding catch crashing into the wall, and also put several good swings together. A physical, strong athlete Matherne paired with, Daniel Cabrera, in the John Curtis outfield makes that unit very strong, as Cabrera showed plus defensive ability in centerfield making a couple extremely difficult plays on Friday.

+ Jesuit HS and Brother Martin HS were very impressive over the weekend as both clubs remain undefeated, as the depth of the clubs really showed in the 4-game weekend.

+ Jesuit INF/OF Nick Ray (2017) had a really nice offensive weekend, which included a long home run on Saturday. A strong, athletic frame with plenty of projection, Ray is a premium athlete that could be one to keep an eye on this spring.
