Tuesday we held our Underclass State Games at Fred Nats Stadium in Fredericksburg. Over 60 of the top 2024s and 2025s in the Commonwealth, DC, and Maryland participated. Here are some highlights from some of the players who popped for Virginia/DC Scouting Director Jason Burton:

Ethan Ball SS / 3B / McLean, VA / 2025

‘25 Ethan Ball (@McLeanathletics) with a hard hit ball that gets by the first baseman.

Above average runner w/ advanced feel for barrel. Had a big spring for McLean and continues to produce. @PBRVirginiaDC @ShooterHunt #PBRVADCUnderclass pic.twitter.com/nbw6FauO6l

Toole, the switch hitting @OHSCougarsBSB SS/RHP displayed a nice feel for the barrel during BP. Consistent line drives from both sides.
