The I-10 Border Battle took place on Monday January 16th, at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX. The open event saw players from all across the state of Louisiana and Texas in attendance, but we will focus on the statistical performances of the Louisiana prospects.
2017 RHP/2B Bo Hardin (Lafayette) had a big day on Monday, and has created a significant buzz post-event. Hardin sat 89-91 mph with late life and command of his fastball, as well as, showing solid feel for a slider that has potential to be a swing and miss pitch. Hardin also posted a 6.80 60-yard dash, and threw 89 mph across the infield during the morning positional workout.
2019 OF Damon Fountain (Barbe) is one to watch in Louisiana’s 2019 class. An athletic 6-foot-2, 190-pound outfielder, Fountain showed arm strength with carry from the outfield, posted a 6.94 60-yard dash, and strength with bat speed from his right-handed swing.
Louisiana-Lafayette recruit, 2017 OF Jeff Elkins (AES) showed off a wide array of tools on Monday. Elkins posted an event best 6.60 60-yard dash, threw 88 mph from with the outfield with carry on throws, and showed a simple, compact right-handed stroke with present bat speed, posting a 90 mph exit velocity.
A complete recap of the event will be coming in the following weeks.
