Best breaking ball
 Kade Woods (Ouachita Christian, 2022) really made noise on Saturday, as the athletic 6-foot-2, 165-pound right-hander showed extremely advanced ability on the mound. He ran his fastball up to 88 mph, while flashing a wipe out, power curveball with tight spin and depth at 78 mph. A strong 5-foot-10, 170-pound left-hander, Landon Joyner (Benton, 2020) showed advanced pitchability with feel for quality secondary stuff on Saturday. He manipulated the breaking ball with ease, showing 2/8 shape with sharp, late break, tight spin, depth and fastball arm speed at 70-71 mph.
