The Samford commit is the epitome of a gamer. Top of the lineup bat-to-ball skills with great ability to stay balanced and an above-average approach. Gandy does a great job of identifying spin and finding pitches to do damage, even early in counts. Quality actions at short for the senior as well with quick feet and smooth transfers. Moves well laterally with plenty of range. Tools to stick in the dirt longterm with a quality hit tool to match for Gandy.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 160 pounds. This is one of the most energetic players you can find in our deeply talented state, and it’s very refreshing to see a player who can truly stick at SS in college, which is very uncommon. Combine that endless energy with a top of the scale run tool, and you have Gus Gandy. He’s run 6.5 at PBR events, which is a true mark of speed. We have the most precise 60’s you’ll find with Swift technology, and there are no cheap 60’s to be found in our organization. If you run it at PBR, the speed can’t get any more legit. Gandy’s elite speed shows almost better in game, where his elite instincts lead to great jumps on the basepaths and very good anticipation at SS. He controls his body at an extremely high level and is comfortable being off balance, with the play difficulty rarely impacting his throwing accuracy. The arm is plenty strong for the position, and his lightning quick exchange allows him to make throws on time without being in a rush. He can throw from any angle and make every play with ease regardless of where the ball is hit. He’s one of the scrappiest hitters I’ve seen, a near nightmare for opposing pitchers who never gives in at the plate. He’ll bunt on you, work a 12 pitch AB, work a BB, or he’ll jump on you first pitch. Whatever D1 he lands at will be getting an immediate contributor.
