Brian Walker

Below is listed some of the big performers from this afternoons event at Max Velocity in Jonesboro, AR
+2022 Cason Campbell from McCrory HS showed legitimate two way potential. Athletic actions in the field, average run tool, left hand stroke with some power and gap to gap approach to go with a three pitch mix with one of the top FB velocities. Definitely a 2022 to watch moving forward.
+2022 Ty Rhoades has grown and still has plenty of projection to his frame but showed the same sweat left handed stroke with more power. Rhoades has also improved defensively with more arm strength behind the dish. A 2022 left handed hitting catcher with high upside as he continues to fill out his frame.
+2020 Cody Miller, Greene County Tech, ran a top time with big physical frame. Showed improved balance at the plate with big hit tool and power. Also showed a strong arm from outfield. Uncommitted but will not be for long as this physical player can hit and run.
+2023 Jacob Czanstkowski from Mountain Home HS showed advanced feel with the bat and in the field. As he matures into strength look for him to be a solid player in the middle of the field. Also showed feel for pitching with a strong fastball.
+2022 Tanner Duncan from Kennett, MO is a big physical presence and showed big power in BP. Also posted the highest pitching velo with big upside. Physical frame looks to show big power from the left side in the very near future.
+2021 Mari Thomas, Walnut Ridge HS, has fully matured and looks the part with his frame. Still room for added strength, Mari showed easy actions in the infield to go with a refined swing plane which created big power in batting practice. Also showed life to a fastball off the mound with a slider that had depth.
+Rykar Acebo, 2022 Jonesboro HS, showed a long lean frame with a clean arm off the mound. Also had strength to his levers during batting practice, but big time upside off the hill with a riding fastball and a big frame
+Reese Robinett from Kennett, MO showed a changed physique from the summer. Uncommitted 2022 has big power with an easy swing and controlled hand path. He also showed life to fastball off the mound with a slrve that had depth at the plate. Big upside as plenty of strength to add to the frame.
+Brennan Payne, 2021 Jonesboro HS, had a solid day both on the mound and at the plate. Athletic frame that tied top 60 time, Payne has a repeatable swing with juice to all fields. Repeated swing and has room for more strength to go along with skill set.
+2022 Steven Henley, South Pemiscot HS (MO), showed a true low 3/4 slot with heavy sink. Tough arm angle to hit out of with a slider to go with it. Also showed a one of the top velocity from the infield and had a solid round of batting practice.
