Valley View (Jonesboro, AR) OF Slade Caldwell isn’t getting much to hit this season, but he’s off to a hot start. Slashing .500/.593/.786 with two triples, a double and 13 stolen bases over 7 games.
Kid makes an offense go
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Correction: Caldwell’s slash line is .500/.692/.857.
…… math is hard.

For as much as we’ve talked about how good of a hitter Jac Caglianone is and how much better he has been on the mound, his defense has been excellent over at first base so far this weekend for
Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt Mar 16, 2024:
Tommy White has made some great plays on defense at third tonight, very impressive. Christian Little comes in and gets Aaron Downs to hit a grounder down 3B line; White Fields behind bag, steps on bag and makes a great throw for a 5-3 DP.

Texas A&M is knocked from the ranks of the unbeatens as Gator BB wins the series opener, 8-6. Cags with two homers, but story of the game was Brandon Neely’s three strong frames out of the bullpen for Florida.
Teddy Cahill @tedcahill , Mar 15, 2024:
Duke, fwiw, has played less than. a third of its schedule (18 games). Charlie Beilenson has eight saves. David Berg's single-season Division I record is 24.
Mack - Helium alert
Teddy Cahill @tedcahill Fri, Mar 15, 2024:
Nick Kurtz out of the game. He was looked at earlier by a trainer after landing awkwardly when he dove for a ball. Stayed in the game initially, but has since been replaced.
Teddy Cahill @tedcahill
The word from Tom Walter on Nick Kurtz after he left injured tonight:
"Don't know exactly what it is yet but I doubt we see him the rest of the weekend."
Les Johns @Les_Johns Mar 16, 2024:
The ACC Network broadcast says Wake Forest coach Tom Walter hopes first baseman Nick Kurtz can return in three- to-four weeks from a shoulder injury sustained last night against UVA
Mark Etheridge @marketheridge Fri, Mar 15, 2024:
Chris Cortez has settled things down in Gainesville. The RHP has retired 7 straight, all 7 by strikeout.
Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers Fri, Mar 15, 2024:
Chris Cortez looks by far the best I've ever seen him tonight. He's sitting 97-98 mph with his fastball and the slider is electric right now at 87-89 mph. 7-straight K's
Tyler Jennings @TylerJennings24 Mar 15, 2024:
Jonathan Santucci is done after five solid innings against a challenging Clemson lineup.
Final line: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 11 K. 96 total pitches.
Much better outing than last week. Will have video ASAP.

UVA commit ‘24 RHP Bryce Meccage (Pennington)
@BryceMeccage | @PBR_DraftHQ
Ultra ATH looked in mid season form in his inning of work today. 3 K’s
FB: 95-96 (H 96.8)
CB: 78-79
CB much improved from last spring.

Feels like this is going to be a college-pitching heavy 1st Round. Lot of quality up there. 12 college arms inside the Top 40 in next Monday's Top 300 update.
College arms drafted in Rd 1:
2023: 5
2022: 7
2021: 10
2020: 12
2019: 9
2018: 9
2017: 12
The counterargument to this is, and it's been described to me as such, it's not so much "quality up there" as much as it is lack of tangible projectable impact at the top.

Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest (2)
Kurtz entered the year as the No. 2 player in the class thanks to his precocious hitting ability but he’s gotten off to a slow start this spring and has slashed .220/.466/.380 with two home runs. He went hitless during this series (0-for-8) but displayed the sort of hitting traits you would expect to see. He brings an advanced approach that helps him get on base even when balls in play aren’t falling for hits.

Gross stuff today from Joshua Whritenour (‘24 FL) on the bump, pumped 93-96 early in a 4 inning start for @A3_Trojans. Picked up 6 Ks w/ natural feel for spin. Gators BB commit
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB Mar 11, 2024:
The new @FSS_PLUS 2024 Draft Boards will drop a week from today. One guy you can expect to surge is prep SS Theo Gillen. The raw/game power have made big strides this spring and the physical tools continue to shine. One of the more decorated pure hitters from last summer

Landon Green
94 at 15 years old is wild
PG College Baseball @PGCollegeBall Mar 09, 2024:
Brock Moore (‘24 elig.) throwing absolutely gas out of the pen. Imposing 6-6/230 frame with massive intent down the mound. FB has consistently sat 96-99 mph. Pounding the zone with the pitch. Can create depth on breaking ball at 80-84 mph when spun well
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB Mar 11, 2024:
Arguably the top HS RHP in the class, Catholic HS bluechip William Schmidt has disgusting stuff. Up to 98 w/the best curveball in the class, Schmidt figures to go high in July.
But what gets him out of bed in the morning? Any chances he gets to LSU?
Stephen Schoch @bigdonkey47 Mar 10, 2024:
Jac Caglianone just turned in one of the more impressive outings you’ll see this weekend: 6 innings pitched, 9 strikeouts, 0 hits
MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline Mar 10, 2024:
Jac Caglianone would like your attention, please.
9 K's over 6 no-hit frames for the two-way @GatorsBB Draft prospect today.

Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB Mar 10, 2024:
Malcolm Moore's metrics are pretty good this year despite not showing a gaudy slash line just yet. A whole lot of fly balls finding gloves. Not this one though. His fifth bomb of the season.
Catch & throw has certainly taken a step forward too.
Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt) Mar 10, 2024:
Seaver King is really heating up, and that's a great development for @WakeBaseball. He has looked like an All-American weekend; he stays hot by lacing a Kyle Johnson changeup on the outside corner the other way for a double, then scored on a Jake Reinisch oppo double
Brian Recca @brian_recca Mar 10, 2024:
Connor Lane | '24 UConn commit
Very interesting look here with Connor Lane. Primarily a catcher, Lane hopped on the mound and looked super comfortable. Plus arm strength w/ present stuff.
FB: 91-92; x2 93; x2 t94 (scout in attendance had 95)
SL: upper 70s
Slade Caldwell great name and sounds like a character in a Mickey Spillane novel. Landon Green 94 at 15 hmmm I guess TJS at 16.
