Casey Culbreth, RHP, Midway HS (NC), 2023
Tri State Arsenal South -- Youthful frame. Lanky and thin. Chance to add strength in coming years. Listed at 5-foot-11, 135 pounds. Works on-line with some rhythm. Long arm swing to a high-3/4 slot. Slight head clear through release. Fastball at 75-78. Around the zone with the fastball and breaking ball. Breaking ball is still maturing with early 11/5 tilt.

Peyton Young, SS, St. Stephen’s HS (NC), 2023
Carolina Rockies Havoc -- Lanky, athletic frame. Listed at 5-foot-11, 140 pounds. Good actions at shortstop. Active feet. Has the arm strength to stop and restart the feet on catches. Better going to his left as he will catch the ball off the right hip, going to his right. Again, arm has enough carry to allow. Occasionally erratic when the feet become stagnant, but big upside on the athleticism defensively. Left handed hitter. Easy rhythm, loading with a small leg kick. Aggressive nature, working flat through contact. Showed barrel feel. May hit at a high level as he adds strength to the frame.
2023 SS Payton Young (St Stephen's HS) has flashed range and carry at SS. Easy carry can be erratic at times. In the box delivered a 2 out RBI single for @CarolinaRockies Havoc#PBRCarFallChamp pic.twitter.com/0rVlZ0zCSb

Max White, LHP, Hough HS (NC), 2023
Carolina Rockies Havoc -- Lanky left at 6-foot-1, 155 pounds. Average leg kick with some coil at balance. Lands on-line with a closed front toe. Medium arm swing to a high-3/4 slot. Some stiffness through release that may clean as strength is added. Fastball at 76-78, touching 80. Breaking ball has some maturity to it at 65-67.
2023 LHP Max White sitting at 76-78mph, topped at 80. Above average curveball at 65-67 mph. @CarolinaRockies Havoc. @HoughBaseball. @PBRTournaments pic.twitter.com/0XPEtAl86P
