Notes

2/27/24
Uncommitted. The #14 ranked player in the ‘26 class got things started with a bang Tuesday night at Milton. After working the count, he drives an upper 80’s fastball on the outer half to deep right center for a triple. Crawford’s strength continues to develop as the plate, to pair with his naturally strong arm behind the dish and on the mound. He has made some noticeable adjustments to the swing, and has helped a ton with more consistent contact. Crawford is the type of player that can do it all. He can play CF, be lock down behind the dish or beat anyone in the state on the mound. He got the start last night, and was mid to upper 80’s with his big 12-6 breaking ball that he got a ton of swing and miss on. My favorite thing about Branson is the way he carries himself, he is going to play with emotion, but he is always calm under pressure and does not shy away from the moment. He has the makeup of a college player at a young age, and will be fun to follow this spring and into the summer as a future games candidate.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-9, 165-pounds. Crawford is a strong two-way talent coming out of the 2026 class. During the Labor Day Challenge, He had a strong outing on the mound. He kept his pitch count low, allowing him to go deep into the game. Crawford had a high powered FB that got up to 87. While being able to flip in a sharp BB whenever he wanted to. He showed great command, and was confident in throwing any pitch in different counts.

5-foot-10 175-pounds. One of my favorite athletes over the last few years, as he has been a member of both the 13u and 14u Junior Future Games team. The #18 ranked player in the state of GA 2026 class continues to prove why he will be a national name. A true utility prospect that is the #1 ranked catcher in the class, but can play anywhere on the field. The physical strength is continuing to develop. He is gifted with a strong and quick arm that will only get better with physical size. His 2 strike approach is beyond mature, and found off multiple pitches showing high pitch recognition. He will be a 4 year starter for one of the most well known programs in the state.
