LHP Braxton Cottongame (Perry County Central HS, KY) is super athletic with a projectable 6-foot-4, 188-pound frame. He features a fastball up to 90 with feel for a 72-74 curveball. OF Rook Ellington (McCracken County HS, KY) parlayed his Super 60 performance into an impressive spring at the plate.
