Quick glance at RHP JD Whitaker (@JD_Whitaker4, 2026) in his short stint this evening as Hamilton breaks out the 🧹 in Round 2. Sat 85-88 mph with the fastball, worked to both sides and played down. Paired with mid-70’s breaking-ball that was landed for K’s. @PRCC_Baseball recruit. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

SS Braedyn Lackie (@BraedynLackie, 2026) just misses a HR to left here, settling for a 2B instead. Controlled load with aggression at impact. @EastMissBB recruit. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

3B Jaxson Bigham (@JaxsonB10, 2028) with a smooth stroke here from the LS, laces a loud single thru the PS. Mostly level path at the plate, showing innate feel for contact. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

OF Myles Self (@Myles_Self22, 2026) shoots a liner into left center that would plate a pair. Leaner, athletic frame w/ quick trigger on the front side. @NWCCBaseball recruit. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

2B Ian Nichols (@IanNich24, 2028) goes down in the zone and crushes this one to deep LCF for a ground-rule double. Athletic actions w/ leaner frame @ 6-1, 170-pounds. All Lions here in the first. 5-0 score. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

C Paxton Dobbs (@PaxtonDobbs, 2026) on an offering early in the count and shoots it back UTM for a firm single. Strong, medium frame at 5-7, 170-pounds w/ strength throughout. Hamilton continues to threaten here in the first. #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

💣💣💣 UTL/RHP JD Whitaker (@JD_Whitaker4, 2026) helps his own cause as he launches an oppo 🌮 over the fence in RF. Hamilton out to a quick 3-0 lead here in the first following the three-run shot from Whitaker. @PRCC_Baseball recruit & former #PBFG24 alum. 👍 #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB

1B/OF Seth Welch (@SethWelch_27, 2028) gives this one a ride to the LCF gap as it one-hops the wall for a ground-rule double. Quiet load from the RS w/ feel for the barrel to all fields. 6.48 laser runner at previous events.⚡️ #MSHS26 || @HamiltonLionBSB
