Aiden Carlson (‘26, NJ) • RHH • Uncommitted • 6’1 160lb

Tall, lanky RHH with hidden pop and a great eye at the plate today. Weight shift and toe tap load help him get on the ball, hitting a HR over the LF wall. He gets to the ball, rarely striking out, making the pitchers' pitch count go up, waiting to ambush that mistake pitch. Very good on the base paths too, racking up 2 bags and being a threat on the base paths. Very good day overall, displaying that he is a 3-tool player with good contact, good power, and good baserunning ability. 

3/6 / 1 R / 1 RBI / 2 SB

Eric Benner (‘26, MD) • RHP • Uncommitted • 5’9 175lb

RHH looked dominant for his team today, going the distance for his squad while racking up 10 Ks. Look comfortable on the bump, topping his FB at 88 MPH traveling downhill for quality strikes to stay ahead in the count the whole game. He paired that FB with an SL and CH, which he tunnels both pitches very well, keeping the hitters off balance and generating weak contact.
