Colby Salley (CF, South Aiken, 2022) - Long legs and lengthy/easy running gate. Legged out a triple into the LF corner in his first AB. Projectable frame with potential to continue his development. 

Cobe Evans (SS, Lugoff-Elgin, 2023) - Singled up the middle to drive in a run then later doubled down the LF line. Short swing with quick hands and a flat bat path. Aggressive on the bases with good quickness. Stole second and third with good jumps each time, looks to run early and often when he is on base. 

Landon Busby (LHP, Gray Collegiate, 2022) - LHP w/ H3Q arm slot with heavy tendencies to the FB. Proportional frame will support added strength as he matures. Has mixed a nice breaking ball with 2/8 shape. FB topped 70 mph and breaking ball was 58. 

Caleb Stansfield (3B, Hopewell, 2023) - Athletic infielder with physical upside, long lower half and rounded shoulders. Steep bat path presently but has the potential to flatten out as he gets stronger. Has an idea of what he wants to do in the box.

- Prospect Details - 

Ryan Flury (C, Manheim Township, 2022) - Muscled a double into the LF corner to continue a strong event singled in his 2nd AB. C/3B profile is playing 3B this game.

Ben Shenosky (RHP, Manheim Township, 2022) - Long limbs and projectible 6-4, 195 lb frame. Clean arm action with a deep take away and H3Q arm slot. Heavy FB 77-79, breaking ball 65, repeated the delivery early on. Projectable.

Brenner #10 Braves - has worked hard for his team behind the plate all weekend. High effort level with developing skillset, one of the first guys to catch our eye each game because of how he plays the game. Has shown flashes of a solid drop and block and catch and throw ability. 

Vince Fattore (OF, William Penn Charter, 2022) - another circle back guy for us from earlier in the tournament. Hasn't cooled off much. Solid all around OF with good power and plus hit tool has been on time for everything he has seen this weekend. 

Caleb Sturtevant (OF, Cocalico, 2022) - another player who has been in the middle of this potent Keystone State offense all weekend. Strong athletic build has plenty of upside and his loose barrel produce some high exit velos.

Brayden Horton (C, Sayre Area, 2022) -  Good feel behind the plate with strong hands. Possible utility man who could play up the line at 1B or even in RF down the line. LHH showed a tendency to keep his hands inside the ball and use a middle opposite field approach with good bat to ball skills. 

Nikolaus Rubendall (OF, Pope John Paul II, 2022) - Homered deep to LF.
