Uncommitted. Quite swing from the left-side, and continues to showcase the hit tool. Thursday morning he was able to get around early on a mid-80’s FB and drove a laser into the corner in RF that one-hopped the wall. Had solid line-drives in games on Sunday and Monday also. Aggressive approach. Coming off an excellent spring with North Gwinnett HS, and is continuing to impress so far this summer. Has the ability to leg out infield singles, has serious speed. Physical build, and he’s a tough out. Two-sport athlete, ATH in football. Looking forward to watching him as he gets closer to committing

The preseason all-state participant is off to a strong start at the top of the lineup for North Gwinnett this spring. The left-handed bat has an innate feel for the zone with great plate coverage. Shows present bat speed and good balance in an all-fields approach. The uncommitted junior covers plenty of ground in centerfield with advanced routes and above-average run tool that will likely keep him there longterm.

Fall Campus Tour: Georgia Gwinnett

This 5 foot 10, 160 pound dual sport athlete was the fastest player at the event, turning in a 7.01 60 time. He’s extremely explosive out of the gates, and holds his speed well the whole way. Halcomb is a low effort runner who will develop plus or better speed as he gets stronger. In the outfield, he makes quick reads and plays aggressively. He turned in 79 mph from the outfield and showed impressive pitchability on the mound. At the plate it’s a well sequenced lower half, rides backside in stride creating linear connection as hands are thrown. Samford has a short and efficient hand path, with plenty of loft on the low ball. The hand-eye coordination is impressive and we look forward to seeing his tools take off as he gets stronger.
