OF Pierce Dutton (2023) has been one of my favorite players to watch so far at the East Alabama Classic. Plays the game with swagger and confidence, both offensively and in center field defensively. An athletic 5-10, 160 pounder from the left side of the box, Dutton belted a grand slam in Thursday night’s contest and continued on an upward trend with the bat in this game. Showed off the power again in one at-bat, hooking one just right off the foul pole in right field that would’ve been a no-doubter off the bat. Facing an established senior arm, Dutton handled multiple L/L situations professionally in his three at-bats. He singled up the middle on a breaking ball (clip below) down in the zone and laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt in two of his at-bats on the night. Robbed multiple hitters of extra bases on diving plays in center field, and tracks the ball significantly well with efficient, direct routes to the ball. Continuing to cement himself as one of the top sophomores down in the Mobile area.
