Korey
Fortson

Florida A&M commit. Powerful cut with tons of torque and leverage. Showcased the hitting tool all tournament with nearly every at-bat. Had his best performance on Monday morning, as he went 2-for-3 / 2-HR’s / 3-RBI’s. Fortson also had a tremendous catch in left field at the wall to save a run that ended the inning. Great ability to adjust to off-speed while also matching timing with the high heat. Extremely confident in the box. Disciplined eye at the plate. Swings with an intent and a purpose, generates tons of back spin and gets good carry on all fly-balls.
