At the top:

In that time several arms have tied for the event record at 98 mph.
This morning, 16 year old Miguel Sime out his name atop the leaderboard with a 99 mph pellet.

Enjoy this slider from @WakeBaseball RHP Griffin Roberts. Arguably best breaker in college baseball. Tunnels well & throws with conviction at 83-85 mph. Over first two living 92-94/95 with sink to both sides. Flashing feel for CH too @ 85-87 mph. #MLBDraft

TRAVEL COACHES: The 17u WWBA is nearly here, biggest tournament of the year so it’s imperative we get rotations put in. What better way to get your arms seen by scouts/RCs than by letting them know where & when? Lining up schedules is hard enough w/ rotations, let alone guessing.

The slider proved to be a real swing & miss pitch for 2020 LHP Nate Savino (VA) as seen here. Late sweeping life from mimicked slot up to 79 mph, played off 92-94/95 mph FB well & showed short sink to it. #UVA commit.

Quite literally a huge pick up here for #GigEm as they pick up 6-7/240 2025 RHP Sam Cozart (NC). Intimidating presence w/ refined command of entire arsenal, up to 94 mph on heater. Can work to all 4 quads w/ intent, mix/match. 3️⃣ time #Festivaler. #25 in ‘25. #TAMU

Just in case the 2022 #Vandy class wasn’t already absurdly loaded in talent, they add their 10th (!!) commit inside PG T100 w/ RHP David Horn (CA). Strong frame, misses bats w/ 90-93 FB in zone; quality CH as part of 4 pitch mix. #67 per @PerfectGameUSA #AnchorDown
