    It looks like AP has done it again!! Looks like lots of talent and some high draft picks. What are the thoughts.Any top 5 rounders in this group? It will be interesting to see if any of thepitchers will be able to turn it loose. Also looks like some good talent behind the plate.Dont know if they are good enough to be drafted but the players I know are pretty good.

    Very impressed with turnout. Walked away, amazed at the size of the pitchers. Great bodies that will put on more weight and velo. Catchers did a good job as well. I counted 40 MLB scouts in attendance. I am always impressed with the boys themselves; courteous, look you in the eye, and Yes sir/yes maam politeness. I wish them all great success. I hope UNC is not counting on all of their recruits showing up on campus as their group is quite impressive.

    In the 90s

    I heard lots of 90s. The fastest I heard was 93.Seems like everyone was 6'2 to 6'6 and at least 190 to 230.I thought the catchers did a great job and also had some good bodies as well. They swung the wood pretty good also. These kids have respect because all they say is Yes Sir. Never heard a 4 letter word slip out either.

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize that was info you had to pay to see on his site. Completely understand why someone wouldn't post it.

    My son was invited and I also was very impressed with the quality of players. My only comment is - although the radars guns did capture plenty of 90s, but 90% of those pitchers were really over throwing to impress the scouts. I'm sure the scouts could see those who were pitching and those who were throwing. My concern is that nobody got hurt with the over throwing.

    Additionally, I think those players who attended should be able to see the results without paying the fee.
