Miss those days - he broke the mold.

Alfonso Soriano grew up in the Dominican Republic but was discovered in Japan long ago by our @gyardbaseball Director of Scouting @GordonBlakeley_. Incredible to have someone willing to share so many historic scouting memories with this next generation. ⚾️🔥

North Carolina 2027 LHP Dru Gaddy (@DruG_1235) looking nasty in his bullpen spotting easy 87-88 mph velocity from a funky arm-slot paired with a sharp slider. #UNCOMMITTED

North Carolina 2029 RHP Kiptyn Middleton (@KiptynM12688) looking sharp on the mound locating easy 80-84 mph paired with a breaking ball and changeup from his projectable 6’2-170lb frame. Definitely one to follow!
