Tristen Keese (2027, Nolensville, TN) showed a live arm, getting the start for Royal. The righty ran the fastball up to 78 mph and paired it with a tight curveball. Keese is a good athlete and the arm speed projects.
Brayden Holland (2027, Collierville, TN) made his presence known early, picking up a knock up the middle in his first at-bat. In the bottom half, the Collierville native delivered a strong throw right on the money to catch a runner stealing at second. Holland would finish going three-for-three.
Stephen Bobo (2027, Shelbyville, TN) carried an impressive workout into game, singling on a laser in the top of the second. Bobo possesses easy bat speed with twitch and has a very athletic overall profile. The lefty jumped on the mound and sat 83-84 while turning over a very good changeup.
Mason Woods (2027, Moscow, TN) showed off the juice in the bottom of the third, sending a loud double off the right field wall. The southpaw would come in on the bump in the next half, displaying swing-and-miss stuff and topping at 82 mph.
Seaton Wix (2027, Frankfort, KY) picked up a double, lining a ball that split the opposite field gap. The right-handed bat can handle the barrel and has strength at the point of contact.
