Lanky RHP w/ full windup & good use of legs. Has a medium-high leg kick during delivery w/ an OTT arm angle. Works downhill great & uses his pitches w/ deception. Solid CB that he uses to get hitters out when ahead in the count & keep them unbalanced. At the plate he showed a dependable hit tool and worked pitchers deep into counts. Could be a two-way to keep an eye out for once he matures & fills out body.

Lincoln Jones (‘29, FL) • SS/RHP • 6’3” 175lb

Jones impressed on both sides of the ball, showing his versatility as a two-way contributor. At the plate, he filled up the stat sheet with a hit, RBI, run scored, a walk, and a stolen base — impacting the game in multiple facets. On the mound, the long-limbed righty started the game and earned the win, tossing 3 scoreless innings while allowing just 1 H and K'ed 2, while running his FB up to 78mph. His tall frame should allow for more velo to come as he matures. His athleticism plays well across the diamond.

Diego Guilfu (‘28, Intl🇵🇷) • 3B/SS • 6’0” 150

Guilfu put on a show Saturday at the plate and in the field. He went 2-2 at the dish with a 2B and a 3B. Defensively, he made several nice plays at 3B, including a soft grounder to his left that he fielded on the run and threw across his body.

Reid Alberti (‘29, FL) • 5’9 • 135lb • RHP

Athletic RHP mowed his opposition down in a 4 inning CG shutout. Did a great job of controlling the game at his speed. He was slinging the ball from a 3/4 arm slot and mixed his pitches around the strike zone all game. Would love to see what a velo jump and a 3rd pitch would do to his game, good arm in the ‘29 class.

The right-hander showed mature pitchability for his age, mixing a riding fastball up to 79 mph with a sharp, high-spin curveball that tunneled effectively off the FB. His compact delivery, late arm speed, and ability to consistently spin the baseball make him a tough at-bat. Commanded both pitches well and showed poise in tight spots.

Abrahan was a key piece in the win, produced at the plate as he walked twice and picked up a loud barrel for a base knock.

He contributed on the bump as well. Smooth delivery, free and easy, with a compact stroke and a H3/4 arm slot. A lot of upside as he continues to mature and get stronger.
