Ricky Bromirski, 2019, C, Ephrata HS (PA)
6-foot, 185-pounder has put on 20 pounds of muscle since we last saw him a year ago. The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Displays some barrel drag but stays behind the baseball well and squared the baseball regularly in his round of batting practice with a bat exit velocity of 90 mph. Also has the ability to play outfield and ran an event best 6.64 60-yard dash. Showcased pop times of 2.06-2.14 on throws of 72 mph from the crouch and presented a soft wall when blocking.

Matt Ciarrocchi, 2019, 1B, Quakertown HS (PA)
6-foot-3, 215-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed the ability to regularly create some lift with a high finish while consistently barreling the baseball in his round of BP. Registered an 86 mph bat exit velocity and ran a 7.75 60-yard dash. Showcased capable actions around the bag at first base with accurate 77 mph arm strength across the diamond.
