Name,Bio,Remarks
Daniel Seres,C/OF – 5-11/184 – R/R – 2016 – Sequoyah HS – GA,Balanced & simple approach – full move thru the zone – impressive bat speed and muzzle velocity
Tucker Maxwell,OF – 6-0/180 – L/L – 2016 – Lambert HS – GA,Loose swing with ability to accelerate barrel thru zone – full stroke with extension out front thru contact
Cage Cox,C – 5-10/180 – L/R – 2016 – Cairo HS – GA,Excellent hand-eye translated to barrel accuracy – coordinated stroke – rotated core to deliver barrel – consistently squared balls up – line drive gap to gap approach –
Cash Case,SS – 6-1/186 – S/R – 2017 – Montverde Academy – FL,Capable switch hitter – his hands work from both sides and he has advanced feel for hitting – Has better bat speed and a fuller move from the left side of the plate & appears to have a higher ceiling this way – though his right handed stroke is simple and steady & seemingly built for consistent line drive contact
Tyler Daughtry,SS – 5-10/175 – L/R – 2016 – Veterans HS – GA,Aggressive approach with excellent bat speed – full move thru the zone – has leverage to pull side – ball got off bat with excellent life
Joshua Lowe,3B/RHP – 6-3/190 – L/R – 2016 – Pope HS – GA,Short path to contact – nearly inside out but worked well for him – approach and stroke seem built for hard contact up the middle and the other way – line drives thru oppo gap
Xzavion Curry,SS – 5-11/185 – R/R – 2016 – Mays HS – GA,Strong wrists/forearms allow him to take full advantage of excellent hand-eye coordination – short and quick stroke – consistently got barrel to contact and generated backspin
Nick Wilhite,OF – 5-9/163 – L/L – 2016 – Buford HS – GA,Able to whip barrel thru the zone – line drive approach to big part of ballpark – ball left barrel with good life
Austin Wilhite,SS – 5-9/160 – R/R – 2016 – Buford HS – GA,Has hand-eye coordination and barrel accuracy – short path bordering on inside out – line drive spray approach – advanced feel for hitting
Tervont Johnson,SS/OF – 6-0/165 – L/R – 2016 – Mays HS – GA,Quick hands to contact – his best moves are impressive – loose on good path with bat speed – if he can get lower half and core under control he stands to make a big jump

[table caption=”TOP RAW POWER” width=”900″ colwidth=”150|375|375″ colalign=”left|left|left”]
Name,Bio,Remarks
Livingston Morris,OF – 6-4/215 – R/R – 2016 – Etowah HS – GA,Impressive muzzle velocity – looked like he was hitting a different ball than everyone else – on cold day with wind blowing hard in he was able to drive balls thru the wind – attacks ball with combo of speed and strength
Jaquez Williams,1B – 6-3/225 – L/R – 2016 – East Coweta HS – GA,Resembles Ryan Howard (Philadelphia Phillies 1B) both physically and with stroke / tools – excellent strength thru contact – ball got off wood bat with ease – future big power
Will Benson,OF/1B – 6-4/220 – L/L – 2016 – The Westminster Schools – GA,Comparable to a young Jason Heyward (Atlanta Braves OF) – there is some stiffness to his stroke but he is very strong thru contact and the ball reacts very well off his bat – has idea with route to contact – his best moves are impressive – high ceiling
Alex Vanderstok,3B/RHP – 6-1/180 – R/R – 2016 – West Forsythe HS – NC,Unique path and swing angle – gets barrel outside and around but has ability to create backspin – excellent muzzle velocity – combines excellent bat speed with leverage to naturally drive the ball
Daniel Seres,C/OF – 5-11/184 – R/R – 2016 – Sequoyah HS – GA,Made a lot of hard contact – combined bat speed and strength thru contact to consistently drive the ball – probably more power frequency than pure raw power – but he can impact the ball enough to easily drive it out of the ballpark
Cole Jackson,C – 6-2/215 – R/R – 2016 – Sandy Creek HS – GA,Once hands got moving forward they worked with speed and strength – aggressive and full move – ball got off barrel with life and had backspin for carry thru OF

[table caption=”TOP ARM STRENGTH” width=”900″ colwidth=”150|375|375″ colalign=”left|left|left”]
Name,Bio,Remarks
Will Benson,OF/1B – 6-4/220 – L/L – 2016 – The Westminster Schools – GA,91 mph – overpowers ball on release – flight and arrival aren’t the same as exit from hand – potential for wow arm with looser and more controlled stroke
Xzavion Curry,SS – 5-11/185 – R/R – 2016 – Mays HS – GA,90 mph – generated velocity on exit and easy carry across the infield from compact arm stroke – doesn’t need feet set under him to make strong throws – usable arm strength
Livingston Morris,OF – 6-4/215 – R/R – 2016 – Etowah HS – GA,90 mph – powerful arm stroke – after leaving on strong angle throws carried a long way and held life thru target – ball didn’t appear to lose much (if any) life along flight to target
Joshua Lowe,3B/RHP – 6-3/190 – L/R – 2016 – Pope HS – GA,89 mph – spun ball well – throws left hand with life after easy stroke – carried well across infield
Alex Vanderstok,3B/RHP – 6-1/180 – R/R – 2016 – West Forsythe HS – NC,89 mph – loose arm – good stroke resulted in lively exit and strong carry across infield
Jecorrah Arnold,SS/OF – 6-0/165 – R/R – 2017 – Clarke Central HS – GA,87 mph – was able to drive throws across the infield on a strong line when needed – also showed ability to make off throws moving to his glove side
Cole Jackson,C – 6-2/215 – R/R – 2016 – Sandy Creek HS – GA,87 mph – even with compact arm stroke and ultra quick release he was able to drive throws on a downward angle and thru bag
Tucker Maxwell,OF – 6-0/180 – L/L – 2016 – Lambert HS – GA,85 mph – throws left hand on strong line – stayed down and tracked on line – arriving life better than life on exit from hand
Daniel Seres,C/OF – 5-11/184 – R/R – 2016 – Sequoyah HS – GA,83 mph – compact arm stroke from OF and behind plate – throws maintained strong line thru target – especially from behind plate – highly functional arm – played well above velo

Name,Bio,Remarks
William Holland,SS/2B – 5-10/168 – R/R – 2016 – Collins Hill HS – GA,Exciting defender in the infield – supremely athletic and borderline acrobatic actions – excellent hands and body control – quick and easy first step – maintained control of his body to make everything look simple and easy – seems to have a shot to stay at SS – versatile enough to standout at 3B and 2B as well
Tucker Maxwell,OF – 6-0/180 – L/L – 2016 – Lambert HS – GA,Moved with quickness and ease – efficient with first step – accelerated quickly – has straight line speed to cover ground – potential to stick in CF with more arm than required for the position
Bradford Jenkins,OF – 5-10/170 – R/R – 2016 – Union Grove HS – GA,Easy and fluid actions – maintained body control and worked thru the ball well – efficient with routes and angles and has playable speed to cover ground
Alex Vanderstok,3B/RHP – 6-1/180 – R/R – 2016 – West Forsythe HS – NC,Appears to have a nose for the ball – moved feet well and kept body in ideal positions to make plays – hands worked soft out front – spun the ball easily across the infield with plus arm in reserve
Tyler Daughtry,SS – 5-10/175 – L/R – 2016 – Veterans HS – GA,Excellent hands were enhanced by angles – instinctually positioned body and worked thru play with momentum to target – efficient and direct with actions yet fluid and athletic
Nick Wilhite,OF – 5-9/163 – L/L – 2016 – Buford HS – GA,Athletic actions – naturally able to move quickly without much effort – kept body in idea positions to make plays – spun ball very well across the infield
Matt Cole,SS/RHP – 6-2/148 – R/R – 2016 – Kennesaw Mountain HS – GA,Even at less than 100% physically his defensive skills were apparent – natural and fluid actions with body control to make plays off balance and on the run – quick release on throws across the infield – crisp double play work – well rounded defender

Velo,Name,Bio,Remarks
93,Alex Speas,RHP – 6-3/185 – R/R – 2016 – McEachern HS – GA,Sat 90-91 – touched 93 – electric arm and FB exit – pitch had plane and jumped on hitters – had control but not command
91,Tony Locey,RHP – 6-2/210 – R/R – 2016 – Hardaway HS – GA,Sat 89-90 – touched 91 – heavy FB worked in the bottom of the zone – aggressive and effectively wild – had control but many hitters clearly had hints of fear
89,Zachary Strickland,RHP – 6-1/185 – R/R – 2016 – Ware County HS – GA,In 86-87 range had late natural cut action – straighter in 88-89 range – around plate – drove FB downhill well from short arm stroke
89,Joshua Lowe,RHP/3B – 6-3/190 – L/R – 2016 – Pope HS – GA,Filled up zone early with 88-89 – occasional late arm side run – showed signs of command and ability to work both sides of plate – advanced feel for pitch

[table caption=”TOP BREAKING BALLS” width=”900″ colwidth=”75|125|375|325″ colalign=”left|left|left|left”]
Velo,Name,Bio,Remarks
80,Joshua Lowe,RHP/3B – 6-3/190 – L/R – 2016 – Pope HS – GA,Makings of quality slider – had fastball look and plane for a long time – clear shape and depth not there yet but has potential to be plus pitch
77,Zachary Strickland,RHP – 6-1/185 – R/R – 2016 – Ware County HS – GA,Spun rarely seen mid-to-upper 70s curve with 11-5 shape – held almost like SL and was very aggressive thru release – flashed depth – projectable pitch that also allows for projection on his FB
75,Alex Speas,RHP – 6-3/185 – R/R – 2016 – McEachern HS – GA,Arm speed and looseness in hand/wrist allowed him to spin the pitch very well – had good shape in 74-75 mph range – could see exploding depth if he wanted to really drive it
75,Trevor Hillhouse,LHP – 6-6/195 – L/L – 2016 – Woodstock HS – GA,Got arm up and drove pitch down from hand on similar plane to FB – had two-plane action in 74-75 mph range – quality is in effectiveness over pure action
74,Tony Locey,RHP – 6-2/210 – R/R – 2016 – Hardaway HS – GA,Had action and depth consistent with pitch of higher velocity – late action down and especially across zone – very good feel for the pitch – 10 to 4 shape with makings of power – on warmer night could see acceleration in break
66,Matt Cole,RHP – 6-2/148 – R/R – 2016 – Kennesaw Mountain HS – GA,Showed command and advanced feel for pitch – added and subtracted with it – used early in count for get-me-over and late in count for put-away – used to RHH (down and out of zone) and LHH (back door) – most commonly in 65-66 range with 11-5 shape – from same stroke and slot as FB and CH
[/table]
[table caption=”TOP CHANGEUPS” width=”900″ colwidth=”75|125|375|325″ colalign=”left|left|left|left”]
Velo,Name,Bio,Remarks
82,Alex Speas,RHP – 6-3/185 – R/R – 2016 – McEachern HS – GA,Showed good feel for the pitch along with ability to maintain arm speed and looseness in wrist for natural release – only saw a couple at 80-82 mph
78,Tony Locey,RHP – 6-2/210 – R/R – 2016 – Hardaway HS – GA,Technically a Splitter – more of a changeup with some tumble now – but…with fastball arm speed and more velocity it stands to gain depth – projectable third pitch for him
72,Trevor Hillhouse,LHP – 6-6/195 – L/L – 2016 – Woodstock HS – GA,Arm stroke and arm speed do not vary from FB or CB – excellent natural feel for the ball – had fading arm side life in low 70s
71,Matt Cole,RHP – 6-2/148 – R/R – 2016 – Kennesaw Mountain HS – GA,Could pretty much repeat the remarks from breaking ball above – showed command and advanced feel for the pitch – added and subtracted – used for strikes and for outs – turned over for arm side life and some sink mostly in the low 70s

[table caption=”BEST FEEL FOR PITCHING” width=”900″ colwidth=”150|375|375″ colalign=”left|left|left”]
Name,Bio,Remarks
Matt Cole,RHP – 6-2/148 – R/R – 2016 – Kennesaw Mountain HS – GA,Attacked strike zone and showed advanced feel for his three pitch mix – added and subtracted with all three pitches – showed signs of command with all three pitches – hitters were utterly off balance and had no idea what to expect in any count – made many talented hitters look foolish
Trevor Hillhouse,LHP – 6-6/195 – L/L – 2016 – Woodstock HS – GA,Little to no variance in delivery and arm stroke from fastball thru secondary pitches – strike thrower with three pitches – low effort & clean delivery allow for repeatable release point – when stuff catches up to natural feel he can be lights out
Joshua Lowe,RHP/3B – 6-3/190 – L/R – 2016 – Pope HS – GA,Showed ability to pitch with his fastball – moved it and out and cut it some – secondary stuff not as far along but positive indicators are present
Zachary Strickland,RHP – 6-1/185 – R/R – 2016 – Ware County HS – GA,Three usable pitches – all mostly around the plate but just wild enough to create doubt in hitter’s minds – all pitches are firm and have good plane – not easy for hitters to diagnose
