On Deck Preview: Preseason All-State - Southeast Session 1



Ground Forces

As we kick off our Preseason All-State tour this weekend, we highlight some returning players that we are excited to see the results from an off season of training.  

 2020 Preseason All-State - Southeast Session 1


MATT BENNER / OF / SOUDERTON AREA, PA / 2021

5-foot-8, 140-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and initiates swing with a toe-tap stride. Displayed a middle of the field, line drive approach with balance throughout and a feel for the barrel. Registered a bat exit velocity of 82 mph and ran a 7.18 60-yard dash. Athletic defender showcased pop times of 2.15-2.20 on throws of 73 mph from the crouch. 

 


Jake Books

JAKE BOOKS / 1B / SPRING-FORD, PA / 2022

+ 2019 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

6-foot-2, 200-pound left-handed hitter showcased arguably the most balanced, consistent offensive approach of any hitter at the event. Went 3-for-8 with a walk and a pair of RBI over the course of three games. Also made several loud outs and was a tough out all weekend. Polished defender at first base, Books also has above average feel for three pitches on the mound and a solid knowledge of how to attack hitters. Books was added to the Team Pennsylvania roster for the PBR Future Games following his performance.


Cam Conley

cam conley / MIF / malvern prep, PA / 2021

+ 2018 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

5-foot-9, 150-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and utilizes a controlled leg-hang stride to initiate his swing. Displayed an above average feel for the barrel while making consistent hard contact with the ability to create back spin. Ran a 6.96 and showcased more than enough arm strength defensively (84 mph) to stay on the left side of the infield. Displayed active feet, a soft glove hand and the ability to make plays on the move. Athletic frame has room to add additional strength.

 

Cole Fehrman

Cole fehrman / lhp / central bucks west, PA / 2022

6-foot-1, 140-pound lefty has long levers and plenty of room to add strength over the coming years. He sat 79-81 with a loose arm action out of a 3/4 arm slot. Gets downhill well and commands a two-pitch mix. Curveball at 68-71 showed 1/7 rotation and the potential to be a quality second pitch.
