9-17-22 - Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB 

Phoenix, AZ outfielder Duce Robinson might be the most talented two-sport blue-chip the MLB Draft (2023) has seen since 2018. He's prodigious on the gridiron. That said, he represents yet another opportunity for Major League Baseball to flex its muscles.   https://t.co/xuMiAkxaJ6

On the diamond, Robinson is a toolshed. At 6-foot-6, 230-pounds, the prodigious thumper has massive raw power with more bat speed coming. He’s already shown an affinity for finding the barrel, tagging talented high school pitchers at showcases this summer for ringing extra-base hits. Robinson has turned around low-90s heat and stung high-spin breakers this summer, catching the attention of scouts and executive alike. But it doesn’t end there. Robinson has above average speed underway, and a very good first step out of the box. He figures to profile into right field at the next level where the Aaron Judge comparisons will follow.  

 

9-17-22 - Shooter Hunt @ShooterHunt 

‘23 3B Braden Holcomb (FL) connecting on this thunderous 2K double to the back side gap. Battled deep into the count before driving this one. Raw bat speed stands out along w/ the athleticism.     https://t.co/K9cKqTVvnm  

 

9-16-22 - PBR Arizona @PBRArizona 

1B/OF ‘23 Zach Wadas  (Hamilton) 

TCU baseball commit launches a FB short hoping the RF wall for a loud 2B. Large frame with ability to leave the yard consistently. @zachwadas

9-9-22 - 2023 OVERALL RANKINGS UPDATE

https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PBR/2023-Overall-Rankings-Update-7531924608?s=03  

LHP Cameron Johnson (IMG Academy, FL), an LSU recruit, has shown nothing but swing-and-miss stuff against the top hitters in the country. An imposing 6-foot-5 230-pound southpaw, he is relaxed under the limelight which allows his explosive stuff to shine. Vicious on left-handed hitters from a whippy, low ¾ slot with a mid 90s fastball that features heavier arm side life, Johnson attacks the zone with a whiff-happy fastball. His enticing upside is only enhanced by a sweeping slider (77-79) that he demonstrates some ability to manipulate, and developing feel for a low 80s changeup. There is some funk to the delivery with the ball jumping a bit at the plate, and the crude swings that are given only help in highlighting his frontline profile.

9. Dylan Cupp, SS, Cedartown HS (Ga.)

Another Team USA participant, Cupp is the best bet at the top of the 2023 class to stick at shortstop long-term, with excellent range, good hands and more than enough arm to stick at the premium spot. A solid runner, he has outstanding contact skills with the chance to grow into more pop.

Chris Knier  RHP - 2023 - Jensen Beach, FL

Uncommitted

To say Kneir was dominant on the mound would be an understatement. He struck out every hitter he faced in his 3 inning outing while showcasing a fastball that topped out at 90 mph and sat in the upper 80's. He complimented the offering a tight spinning slider at 81 mph that he used as an out pitch. Both pitches were true swing and miss offerings.
