Day 1 of the VA/DC Limited sereis at VT was a tremendous success, with a ton of talent on display. In our Quick hits from day 1, we take a moment to highlight some of the many players that stood out. More player scout blogs will come throughout the week, but lets take a quick first look at some of those who stood out.

Mid Atlantic Orioles

Will Miller C/3B Deep Run 2022
Athletic and projectable frame. Shorter swing path with some extension through contact. Smooth swing and made some loud contact on the day. Shows potential on the offensive end. Intriguing talent.

Hunter Fallen RHP Deep Run 2022
Projectable frame with length. Short, quick arm action. Shows some arm speed while pitching with slight effort. More in the tank with the arm speed as he adds strength to his frame. Fastball has slight run at 77-79 mph. Breaking ball has close to 10/4 shape with shorter break.

Richmond Braves

Kaden Hilburger IF Tabb 2022
Projectable athletic frame. Athletic set up at the plate with rhythm. Short swing to the ball with some extension through contact. Gets into lower half in stance slightly open. Like the presence at the plate and the potential in the swing. Clean actions in the field, confident first step. Can cover ground well. One to keep an eye on .

Tucker Love IF Tabb 2022
Athletic projectable frame. More physicality in frame yet still room to add to. Hands work at the plate. Direct and show some extension. Could see some power develop down the road. Moves well in the field. Keep an eye on, as he adds strength should continue to impress.

Diamond Elite

Harrison Yergey RHP/IF Kettle Run 2022
Projectable frame with room to grow. Controlled, deliberate, build up style delivery. Longer, sound arm action that creates nice arm speed. Projection is there ad he adds strength to combine with the nice quick arm. Fastball ran 75-78 mph with a 61-63 breaking ball and 68-69 change.   

Will Snyder IF Broad Run 2022
Hits from a taller, slightly open set up at the plate. Hands worked well, direct to ball, showed some extension. Nice day in game 1 for Diamond Elite with three hits. Lower half has some cleaning up to do to get more involved into swing.

Old Dominion Hitters

Ken Schaedel IF Cape Henry 2022
Physicality is present as is strength. Advanced offensive approach. Athletic set up with high hands. Leg kick load to hitting position, showed good balance at the plate. Hands are free with explosive wrists and aggressive swing. Smooth stroke that is surprisingly violent. Line drive type hitter with loud contact. One to definitely keep an eye on as he continues to develop.

John Harrison IF/OF Cape Henry 2022
Athletic frame. Quick feet, stays on the balls of feet well with quick and confident first step. Hits from an athletic set up. Hands are clean at the plate, can get pull happy at times, but saw some nice free swings with extension that will only improve with reps. Solid glove defensively.

Diamondskills Dodgers

AJ Martin IF St. John’s 2022
Athletic frame with projection. Smooth athlete with clean actions and quick first step. At the plate showed some rhythm and short stroke with extension. Freed up hands well on some swings and showed nice potential to be able to drive ball all around field.

Lee Ellis IF/P St. John’s 2023
Athletic frame with some length and plenty of projection. Level path at the plate with high end speed out of the box. Bat speed is average right now but will continue to improve with strength. Liked his fluidity and actions in the field. Hands are soft and transfer quick and clean. Shows two way potential and throws with easy effort and looks like could throw hard down the road. Fastball was 80-81 on day touching 82. Late action on pitch. Breaking ball is plus pitch and will only get better as he shows more confidence in the pitch. Relly interesting young buck to follow.

MPH 101

Seth Keller IF/P Patrick Henry 2022
Athletic quick twitch prospect. Athletic set up at plate with high hands. Short and quick to the baseball with uphill finish. Aggressive intent in everything he does. Hands are soft defensively with sound footwork. Shows two way potential pitching with intent. Got later action on fastball when working downhill plane. Fastball up to 85 mph. Breaking ball more later acting slider with short break at 67-72 mph.

Anthony Gabello RHP/IF Hanover 2022
Physical durable pitchers frame. Longer, sound arm action with fast arm speed and more there. Velo was a tick down coming off sickness. Involved lower half and nice backside drive through release. Fastball was up to 85 mph, consistently in the 83-85 range on the day. Breaking ball is bigger and more gradual at the moment, ran 63-66 mph and could get better as he throws with more intent in pitchers counts. Shows some two way potential as well with quick hands and extension through contact showing ability to drive the ball.
