OF Gavin Sawyer (Slinger, 2026) impressed with the bat on Sunday. Sawyer was all over the barrel with a well-sequenced swing for the entirety of his round. The right handed hitter used his lower half to deliver the barrel with balance all the way through contact in the swing and drove line drives to both gaps. As his 5-foot-9, 150 pound frame fills out, he should be able to tap into more raw power, making hims an intriguing follow heading into the spring.
