John Bastiaans 1B/3B Cox 2021
Projectable athletic frame at 6-foot, 150-pounds. Athletic open stance with weight loaded into back leg. Hands relaxed, load back to slight arm bar, square on landing, and lower half finishes with some explosion. Swing path had some uphill tilt, line drive tendency, and did a solid job using the middle and back side of the field. Exit velocity was 77 mph.

Landon Bonneville C/RHP Kings Fork 2022
Strong physical frame at 6-foot, 170-pounds. Hits from a slightly open stance, small leg lift to stride, and lands on line. Hands load back to an arm bar, definite hand speed and strength getting through the zone, and swing path was level. Loud contact that produced consistent line drives from gap to gap. Exit velocity was 84 mph. Bonneville displayed a no doubt ability to hit for power and is an intriguing bat to keep an eye on going forward.

George Feliz 2B/SS George Washington (NY) 2022
Compact athletic frame at 5-foot-4, 130-pounds. Square athletic stance from the right side, pick up and put down landing on line, and hands make minimal load back.

Gartrell has a chance to make an impact as a 2-way at the next level.
