LATHROP, CALIF. - By my count there were 77 participants at the Underclass Area Code tryout on June 14th. It was a mix of 2024 and 2025 grads. Given the performances of the players, there will be tough choices as to who makes the team, and from my objective observations, there is room for plenty of new 'names' to break through and make the squad. The pitchers all faced 3-4 batters, starting with 1-1 counts.
For what it's worth, because BP is just BP (though in an environment like this, swinging wood and all the eyeballs on them, the heartbeat matters), these players were particularly (IMO) impressive in their two rounds: Brandt Munger, Makoa Sniffen, Conner Barth, Junior Ibarra (switch), Aidan Hall, Coen Niclai, Tatum Marsh, Anthony Lira, Anthony Scheppler, Beckett Zavorek, Jax Gimenez, Cole Chamberlain. In live at-bats, Nic Sebastiani was 2-2 (2B to RCF) and Dawson Downs was also 2-2.
