Top Prospects:
Travis Lott (C/1B, 2019) The Citadel Recruit. Physical presence at 6 foot 1, 200 pounds. Strong lower half and solid catchers build. LHH with a medium/high stride that lands softly and slightly closed of parallel. Lower handset with a simple load back and slightly up. Muscles the barrel through the zone with a lofted path, swing suggests gap to gap power potential.
Blake Marrs (1B/C, 2019) Lander University Recruit. Two sport athlete with athletic build. Carries the hands slightly above the shoulder and uses a short stride timing mechanism. Whips the barrel through contact with line drive bat path. Power numbers could trend up in 2019.
Dylan Stewart (INF/RHP, 2019) Charleston Southern University Recruit. Lean, athletic profile. Two way player will see time in the infield as well as on the mound. Will only add to this Knights line up that looks to continue last years offensive onslaught.
