A late addition to the event, Mason made arguably the biggest case for making Team SoCal at the Future Games. Mason led things off with an event low 6.66 laser timed sixty yard dash showing athleticism in his running action on his 6’2” 167lb frame. During the workout portion of the event, Mason showed athletic movements on the dirt with fast hands and desirable footwork at the hot corner. His BP was two rounds of barrels that sprayed the gaps with line drives. But, it was during the game where Mason put it all together and really stood out. He started with a standup triple to the right center field gap that was 96mph off the bat, he followed with a walk and a double to the left center field gap that was 92mph off the bat. Simple and rhythmic stroke at the plate with a knack for getting the barrel to the ball consistently.
