February 28, 2019
Over 600 players attended our Preseason All-State events spanning from Feb. 15 - Feb. 24. 100's of players caught the eyes of our professional scouting staff, all with dreams of playing baseball at the next-level. Over the course of the next few months I will be highlighting "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who really stood-out at the Preseason Events. Let's get started.

Scouting Report
CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: I really liked the bat. Normally you see players with bat-speed and power to their pull-side, especially a young player, but he controls the barrel and shows the ability to use all fields. Defensively he's showing signs of a corner OF/1B but, if he can get his foot-speed quicker, and continue growing his arm, Hopko will spend a lot of time roaming the OF at the next-level.

Hopko stands a strong 5-foot-11, 180-pounds with room for more physical gains from the freshman. In the box the lefty uses balance during his approach, a long back load on the pitch for timing, hands are compact and short to the ball, generates above average bat-speed (89 mph) while keeping barrel control to the gaps. In the OF he uses a quick first-step, keeps the ball in front of his body, no issues on the transfer, release comes from a clean 3/4 arm-swing that shows carry (79 mph) with arm-strength projection. Very nice looking 2022 from the Southern-Tier to keep eyes on.
