C Clayton Anderson (Gardner-Edgerton, 2025; Barton CC commit) continues to impress on both sides of the ball, putting together the loudest round of BP of the day from this look. The 6-foot, 158-pound backstop consistently found the barrel with authority, averaging 96.1 mph per batted ball with a top mark of 101.2 mph. His quick inside out swing showed inherent bat speed (76.6 mph average) and strength, repeatedly driving the ball to right center. From behind the plate Anderson produced 1.87-1.92 pop times with a 77 mph mark from the chute - both top marks on the day. As he continues to polish off his game, Anderson has the chance to make a big impact at the next level.
