Today, we will take a look at several notable players that had notable performance at last nights scout day.

Pearl River CC signee, INF Reed Trimble (Northwest Rankin) has a lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame. Trimble has continued to impress, as our scouting staff has had a chance to see him multiple times over the fall season. The switch hitter has easy rhythm from an open stance, and creates natural lift with gap power that should continue to progress at the next level. After running a 6.59, the shortstop showed off smooth actions, soft hands, and the ability to make all the throws necessary to play on the left side.

Several uncommitted seniors made their presence known during the bullpen, including RHP/OF Noah Brown (Germantown), RHP Hayden Miller (Northwest Rankin), RHP Blake Dilmore (Germantown).  Brown showcased a quick and loose arm stroke running his fastball up to 84 mph, while flashing a 68 mph breaking ball. Dilmore displayed feel for the zone, locating fastball at the bottom of the zone at 78 mph, with signs of more velocity to come. Miller was also able to run his fastball up to 82 mph combined with a changeup at 74 mph that showed fading action.
