‘21 Spring: 398 BA, 31 BB as a JR.
6A 2nd Tm All-State!
Strong base to hit w/a controlled on plane repeatable stroke.@prepbaseball @ShooterHunt@NathanRode pic.twitter.com/RztfOtcWEJ
Gambill is the younger brother of All-WCC OF, Cole Gambill from BYU and it's another in the pipeline with this baseball playing family. Kade impressed with the bat at the Preseason ID and showed a controlled, yet efficient hitting stroke from a solid and strong base to hit from. A 2nd Team All-State performer as a junior in 2021, Gambill hit .398 with 5 2B's, 4 3B's and a HR, to go along with a BB/SO ratio of 31/15. The walk total is impressive and sows the kind of plate discipline that should carry him to the college level. I look for big things from this young man as he builds off a strong '21 campaign and looks to take it up a notch or two this coming spring.

This kid is a .420 hitter and 2nd Tm All-State leadoff hitter as a Jr, and needs a home! 6.8-6.9/60 | OF 88
West Coast Games Alum! Can FLAT Play!@Prepbaseball@ShooterHunt@NathanRode pic.twitter.com/QDBbtSF2fX
What hasn't been said by me, that hasn't already been said before about this young man. There are many players in the state, that have been offered before this kid, and he should have been one of the first offers made to a top JC or D2 school. The kid can play and has been a model of consistency for the better part of the last year. A .420 hitter as a junior, garnering 2nd Tm All-State honors, Harmer is a leadoff type, that is patient and has a discerning eye at the plate and works a count. Will ambush a pitcher at times early in the count, trying to sneak a FB by him, and he will smash it on a line. An instinctual defender in CF, that reads balls off the bat really well and takes solid angles and routes. Will leave his feet to make highlight type plays and saves runs, by running balls down. A 6.8-6.9/60 consistent runner and as well has been stuck on the gun at 87-89 from the OF at all events. A West Coast Games alum, that should have an offer and soon.

EV 102 | FB 83-85 T86
‘21 Spring: 345 BA, 6 2B’s, 2 HR’s | W 7 L 3, 4.14 ERA, 38 IP, 45 K’s as a JR@prepbaseball @ShooterHunt@NathanRode pic.twitter.com/wOxxqb9d1d
Billings was recommended to me by his HS coach, Matt Bezzant, and I was asked to come speak to the Lone Peak team a few weeks back on a trip they made to St. George to get out of the cold and practice and scrimmage. I was able to watch Chris take BP and interact with him, before seeing him at the Preseason ID. I left impressed with Billings size, strength and natural loft to lift and drive the baseball. An intriguing two way LHH with a fast bat 27.6 hand speed and 80.6 bat speed, which is alite, though you will get these readings when you meet the ball way out front. But nonetheless impressive. The EV was the leader in the clubhouse at 102.4 and one of the top couple recorded in the state over the last year and half. On the mound there is an intriguing arm as well, as the arm is fluid and has natural arm strength to top out at 86 mph with the FB and sat 82-85. I can see more in the tank, as he rushes his delivery at times and can get out of sync and rely on arm strength. The statistical numbers as a junior are enough to leave room for even bigger strides as a senior, as Billings hit .345 with 6 2B's a triple and 2 HR's, while finishing 7-3 on the mound as the ace, with a 4.14 E.RA and 45 K outs in 38 IP. The walks are little high at 27, but with some lower 1/2 tweaks in the delivery, I can see a 86-89 FB with added control come mid season.

Athletic 6.8/60 | FB 82-85, sat 88 T90 all summer/fall. Preseason ramp up right now. Future Games Alum!#BeehiveState@prepbaseball @ShooterHunt @NathanRode pic.twitter.com/eWY1vdEFqF
Miller a Future Games alum with a good arm and intriguing twitchy athleticism, was in preseason form on the mound as he works his way into mound shape come March. But the bat showed well as he smashed balls hard with an EV of 92-94 and was 86 from the OF. a 6.92/60 type, that in this indoor style event, registered a 3.87 H-1B and can scoot. There's some Hunter Pence type mannerisms to his game and it's more than enough on both sides of the ball to play at the next level. The bat and playing the field is starting to intrigue me right now and he is a projectable type athletic kid, that will get considerably stronger as he continues to fill out and mature.
