Uncommitted. Coming off a great showing in the Top Prospect Games, Binion showed out again this weekend. His high bat speed and sweet lefty swing brought a lot of production for Klutch 16U, and he even made an appearance on the mound as well. Binion is one of the more consistent bats in the 2026 Georgia class, and should continue to produce at a high level for the remainder of the summer.

Binion has become a big standout seemingly every time that we've seen Carrollton this spring. Utilizing a quiet approach from the left-side, the uncommitted corner infielder creates good leverage from a compact swing that gets a ton of drive out of his lower half. The accuracy in the barrel stands out from Binion, with the ability to get his best swings off. The power projection will continue to grow and already flashing above-average raw power with easy pull-side power. Good flexibility with soft hands at first, with the athleticism to profile at third-base as well. Binion has become a high follow quickly for us and will be one to watch this summer.

Physical 6-foot-0 frame with a quiet approach from the left-side, Binion consistently took quality at-bats throughout the weekend. With excellent plate coverage and present barrel control, Binion utilizes the whole field with ease and flashed significant raw power to the pull-side. There’s potential for a strong hit tool for the sophomore as he continues to develop.
