MORRISTOWN, TN - The East TN Open + Rising Stars showcase were both held on Tuesday, July 19th at Ken Campbell Field on the campus of Walters State CC. This event was an open event that consisted of 20 prospects from the 2023-2027 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion to record hitting metrics. Pitchers were able to throw bullpens and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Tuesday.

Kicking off our post-event coverage for these events, we take a look back at some of the top performers and standouts from the each day. Continuing over the course of the next week or so, we will release Statistical Leaderboards for the event then transition into releasing individual scouting reports for each player in attendance.

 

Quick Hits:

Ian Lindsay, OF, P27 Academy (SC), 2023
Uncommitted, 6-foot-1, 205-lb physical, developed frame w/ obvious lower half strength. Balanced, slightly crouched stance w/ small leg kick and quiet, compact hand load. Generates above average bat speed, good power driving ball gap to gap w/ authority. Gets on plane and consistent barrels up the baseball w/ power projection to all fields. Projects to slot as a corner outfielder w/ 7.38 sixty and and average arm strength (78 OF Velo).  

 

Jackson Steele, OF/RHP, Carter, 2023
Uncommitted, 6-foot-3, 205-lb tall frame w/ present strength and room to add mass. Tall, slightly open stance w/ small leg kick and good head/hand separation. Generates above average bat speed w/ legit gap to gap power and driving balls to the pull side w/ authority. Impressive BP round w/ lot of barrels and raw power. Defensively, projects as corner OF or 1B, due to lack of speed (7.72 sixty) and average arm strength (78 OF Velo), but a bat first prospect, who can be a consistent contributor in the lineup.

 

Levi Gingerich, RHP, Green Level (NC), 2023
Uncommitted, 6-foot-2, 215-lb large frame w/ present strength and physicality. Active feet in delivery, hindering repeatability, but good tempo. Pushes and glides down the slope w/ square foot landing and crunches the lower half after release. Long arm action w/ good hand speed and works up to low 3/4 slot. Heavy FB at 85-87 (T 2267 rpm) w/ good life and arm side lateral action. SL at 72-75 (T 2052 rpm) w/ good shape and late bite. Tunnels well off the FB, throwing for strikes and bury for chase. Rounded mix with firm CH at 78-83 w/ solid arm side action and deception off the FB. 

 

Corbin Crosby, LHP, Lipscomb Academy, 2025
Uncommitted, 6-foot-2, 175-lb tall, lean frame w/ lower half strength and plenty of projection. Quiet delivery w/ repeatability. High leg lift and strong balance point w/ drop n drive lower half. Square foot landing and strong block w/ lead leg and good extension. Compact, tight arm action working up to 3/4 slot. FB at 79-81 (T 2109 rpm) w/ good life and carry thru the zone (T 20.7 IVB). CB at 65-67 (T 1919 rpm) w/ good shape and 1/7 action, lands for strikes and flashes of swing n miss offering. Mixes splitter at 69-71 w/ solid down bite to keep hitter honest. 

 

Jake Harris, C, Farragut, 2026
Uncommitted, 5-foot-11, 185-lb proportional frame w/ present strength in lower half and some physicality. Balanced, slightly crouched stance. Gap to gap approach and pull side power to RCF (T 89.2; Avg: 82.1 exit velo). Very sound defender w/ good receiving and quick transfers. Solid arm strength (70 C Velo), but good accuracy on throws and strong pop times for class (T 2.16). Gonna be a rising freshman catcher to watch over the years.

 

Grayson Wright, SS/RHP, Bearden, 2026
Uncommitted, 5-foot-10,155-lb proportional frame w/ lower half strength and projection. Tall, slightly open stance w/ leg kick and minimal hand load. Gap to gap approach w/ solid power and future projection. Sprayed the ball around the yard, future power projection as he add strength. Defensively, strong actions up the middle. Soft hands, good transfers and solid arm strength. Also pitched, working 77-79 with the FB while mixing CB at 69-70 and CH 74-76.
