In our first, brief look at Atlantic Shores Christian there were two players that stood out. Take a look at video and notes on two 2025's from the beach area. 

Brett Beasley SS / RHP / Atlantic Shores Christian, VA / 2025

Lanky 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame with plenty of room to add strength. Defensively Beasley showed solid actions at shortstop. Glove presents out front, clean exchange, and above average arm strength from the left side. Moved well laterally and showed ability to throw from multiple slots. At the plate I got a chance to see two at bats from Beasley, one ending in a single to left field. Beasley has been hot early this year and has displayed some home run power. Starts in a square slightly crouched stance, toe tap load, and lands on line. Level path swing and the barrel stays in the zone through extension. Beasley is one of the more versatile, athletic pieces in a 2025 class that is still growing.

 

Patrick Dudley LHP / OF / Atlantic Shores, VA / 2025

The South Carolina commit stands 6-foot-4, 190-pounds. Projectable frame, high waist, and a well put together 2025. Dudley has one of the more polished, repeatable deliveries you will see from a freshman. Normal effort, long stride that lands on line, and arm gets up on time. Short, clean arm action and throws from a high three-quarter arm slot. The fastball sat 82-84 mph during his first three innings of work and touched 85 twice. Dudley showed two breaking balls, a curveball and slider. Had a better feel for the 1/7 shaped, 69 mph curveball that he threw for strikes. He reeled off a couple of 74-75 mph sliders, but he did not have a feel for the zone. The changeup sat at 78-79 mph with average feel and present arm speed. Dudley was not afraid of contact and was very efficient around the zone, especially early in his outing. This is a high ceiling arm that should continue to make gains as he grows into an already advanced frame and delivery for his class.
