Kaden Canady, a 2030 SS/OF from Bruce J.H., had an impressive performance on Saturday, more than holding his own against older competition. He ran a 7.07 60-yard dash, showcasing his speed at a young age. Canady can really swing it from both sides of the plate, and he's already a top-of-the-order bat. He performed well in game situations and proved he’s an up-the-middle player. Although he still has time before reaching high school, Canady has definitely caught our attention with his athleticism, ability to impact the game, and versatility.
