After a loud look at the Rawlings Tigers Scout Day earlier this month, CIF Joey Fentress (Westminster Christian Academy, 2025) continued to show noticeable raw power in BP at this event. All but one of the 5-foot-10, 205-pound uncommitted juniors batted balls came off his barrel at 90+ mph, with six at 95+ mph, and his hardest jumping off his barrel at 99.2 mph - all of them finding their way into the left-center gap as well as to the middle of the field. Fentress also ran a 3.98 30-yard dash and jumped 28.9” in the vertical.
