Ivan Hand - Briarwood Christian Athletics
Hand had a great all around game helping Briarwood with a game 1 win over Faith 9-6. He finished 2 for 4 at the plate with a run scored, and 2 RBI's. But his most important role was as a relief pitcher where we picked up only one out... but it was a huge one striking out the Faith batter in the bottom of the 7th with the bases loaded to preserve the win.

Big two-out hit from SS Robbie Paulsen (@Robbie85327441, 2026) to extend the lead for the Lions.

LHP/OF Houston Hartsfield (@Houston_H21, 2026) fires an absolute gem in the CG shutout in Game 1.

Holding low-80s throughout from a 3/4 slot and tough angle. Adds/subtracts well with the late-biting low-70s SL. Forced weak contact & missed barrels.

@UAH_BSB recruit.

Finished 7 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K. #ALHS26

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

The contact off the barrel continues to be loud from C Parker Daniels (@ParkerDaniels_5, 2026).

Lower handset for the @UWABaseball1 recruit gets him into launch easily & hammers this back to CF for a leadoff single. Big-time juice off the barrel.

Still 0-0 in Game 2, B2. #ALHS26

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

OF Brooks Allred (@BrooksAllred1, 2026) sends this back up the middle for a sharp single.

Quick hands showing in the swing on a compact, level path through contact.
