Owen McElveen RHP / 1B / Lugoff-Elgin, SC / 20215-8, 150lb Medium/Small frame with the look and body type of a young athlete. Will continue to mature physically and be worth checking up on down the line. Moderate leg lift from a narrow stance and uphill bat path. Short hand load down to launch position. Collapsed into the back side in an effort to work uphill through the zone. Avg. defender at first with firm hands and longer arm action. Worked with a small rocker step on the mound and a higher leg kick. Deep stabbing take away and full arm action to a H3Q release point. FB showed fade at times and breaking ball was shallow with side/side 10/4 shape.

Medium frame with solid foundation and growth potential. Proportional build with sloped shoulders and narrow waist. LHH with an uphill bat path. Uses a higher knee to knee stride that lands slightly closed. Quiet hand load turns the barrel at foot strike. Showed ability to stay behind the baseball with extension and carry balls into the gaps.

Mason Ginnery OF / Westwood, SC / 2022Stocky frame with wide hips and shoulders. Stance just outside the shoulders with wiggle to the barrel preload. Loads the hands down and back with a medium stride that lands slightly open. Inconsistent with eye level at foot strike. Flat path through the zone produced line drives and ground balls. Was the most comfortable going back up the middle and to the opposite field. Choppy footwork in the OF with a longer exchange and 3Q arm action. Faded throws to the target with limited carry.

Will Morris 1B / 3B / Lugoff-Elgin, SC / 2021Rankings StateRank: 32 / POS: 3
Large frame with broad shoulders. Body will support additional polish as he matures. Easy actions for his body type and sneaky athleticism. Quiet approach at the plate with medium high leg kick and deep hand load. Slight hitch at the foot strike with a lofted bat path. Keeps the barrel on plane and gets good extension through contact. Above avg pop present to all fields. Showed tendencies to prefer the ball away and drive it into the opposite field gap. Serviceable defender with avg arm strength and lateral quickness. Skillset suited for 1B at the next level.
