Caid Sanders battled all night working out of jams it felt every inning, and keeping his team in the game in some big moments. Fell just short with his stat line finishing with 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R (2 ER), 4 BB, 6 K’s. Sanders was 82-84 topping out at 85.

5-foot-9, 155-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and even stance, uses a leg kick and stride with a simple and smooth and slight movement back with his hands to get loaded, lower half is engaged early with his leg kick and hips are cleared aggressively, bat path is steep as he comes forward and finishes on top of his front leg at times, chance to develop some gap-to-gap pop in the future.  Defensively, showed good hands and average footwork behind the plate, exchange was generally smooth and led to a short arm action through a high ¾ slot, firm throws to 2B, showed versatility by competing in the infield.
