Collin Carroll RHP / 1B / Tidewater Academy, VA / 20236-foot-2, 190-pound projectable frame. Short quick arm with easy effort. Up to 83 mph and ball came out the hand well.

Scott Crosson LHP / OF / Hickory, VA / 2020The Christopher Newport commit was up to 84 mph with the fastball. Loose arm, showed some arm side run on the fastball, and displayed ability to locate to both sides of the plate. Solid feel for both off speed pitches.

Luke Hanson SS / RHP / Lafayette, VA / 2022Big time two way potential to Hanson. Fastball sat 84-85 and touched 86 on occasion. Feel for 11/5 breaking ball and ability to get it over whenever he wanted to.
