2/26/24
The loudest swings of the event came off the bat of '25 SS Jackson Watkins (Columbus East). The left-handed hitter boasts some athleticism within a 5-foot-11, 175 pound frame. The swing is geared towards heavy pull-side contact as he looks to leverage the ball out front. Watkins reached a peak exit velocity of 96.5 mph, and was up to 85 mph across the infield.
