Carter Holton, LHP, Benedictine, 2021
5-foot-11, 185 pound left-handed pitcher. The Vanderbilt commit worked an uptempo delivery and attacked hitters early recording 11 of the 12 outs via strikeout. Holton’s Fastball sat 90-93 mph and touched 94 mph. Showed advanced feel for a plus Curveball with 1/7 shape that dropped off the table at 74-76 mph, Slider at 77-79 mph, and a Changeup at 83-84 mph.
Final line (4 IP, 5 H, 7 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 11 K’s)
Justin Thomas, OF, Benedictine, 2022
Georgia commit. 5-foot-11, 175 pound outfielder, athletic build. The 2020 Future Games MVP was impressive showing his ability to launch to the pull side gap effectively homering in Game 1 against Providence. Thomas is an all around athlete that can cover a lot of ground in center field and is an impact bat with quick twitch in the Benedictine lineup.
St. Pius X v Northview (4.1.21)
Agyei Quinichett, RHP, St. Pius X, 2022
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 182-pound right-handed pitcher, athletic build, strong lower half. Clean, circular arm action, comes out of an over-the-top slot, quick arm speed. Cruised through his start against northview, 5.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 12 K. Pounded the zone with his fastball, located to all parts of the zone. Dropped in curveball when he needed effectively. Fastball sat 84-87, touched 88. Curveball, 71-73, 12/6 shape, depth, swing and miss potential.
William Tippett, SS/RHP, St. Pius X, 2022
South Carolina commit. 6-foot-1, 155-pound switch-hitting shortstop and right-handed pitcher, lean build, an elite athlete in the class. Has the tools to stick at shortstop or make a move to center field at the next level. Quick, whippy swing, line drive approach, can spray the ball. Speed puts pressure on the defense, has a chance to beat any throw out on the infield and is a constant base stealing threat. On the mound, worked 83-85.
