2025 C Joe Crenshaw gets on plane backed by present bat-speed and smokes an absolute rocket down the line for an easy 2B.

Direct path to the ball while staying balanced through the zone.

Advanced feel for the barrel as well for the @SpiderBaseball commit.

2025 1B Marshall Kirkpatrick drives this to the pull-side for a 1B.

2026 SS Griffin Brogan syncs up and comes through with a base-hit here.
