#Uncommitted 2027 C @brady_jensen3 of @MIslandbaseball doesn’t try to do too much here, stays wide w/ two strikes and drives a ball through the right side of the infield for a single to keep the inning going. Above average defender behind the plate too. @DiamondProMedia @PowerBSB

Two more Ks in the 2nd inning for 2027 LHP Gabriel Norman of @MIslandbaseball as he works a 1-2-3 frame, showing a present feel for his breaking ball and throwing strikes. Pumping low 90s FB and challenging hitters. Very strong follow in the @FSUBaseball commit. @DiamondProMedia

The Mustangs tack on two more runs as 2027 1B/LHP @RyderWidick of @MIslandbaseball displays a quality piece of hitting, driving the ball the other way into LF with two strikes for a 2-run single, making it 4-0. The @UCF_Baseball commit has been a standout two-way. @OrlandoScorps

#Uncommitted 2028 OF @Grant22Arnold of @MIslandbaseball just misses this one, but gets enough of it to lift a ball to deep RF for a sac fly as the Mustangs take a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st. Real power potential as a LHH. Strong follow. @DiamondProMedia #DiamondCoverage

‘29 Charlie Blalock (Merritt Island HS) able to keep the hands in and line this for a double. True LH swing & the freshman is batting over .400 this spring. #PGHS

‘27 Liam Miller (Merritt Island HS) roped this to the PS for an RBI single. Physical & can keep the swing short & still impact the baseball. #PGHS @PG_Uncommitted

‘29 Charlie Blalock (Merritt Island HS) comes thru with another run scoring hit, this a hard single PS. Really fast hands & good ingredients to the swing. #PGHS

‘28 TWP Grant Arnold (Merritt Island HS) no hits in the box score but barreled two hard balls to CF today. Hyper mobile athlete who holds angles; huge offensive upside. #PGHS
