[Antonio Torres @TweetTonyT]

Young bat making noise early‼️ Max keeps showing the ability to get the barrel out front and impact the baseball. Quick hands, confident approach. One of the early ‘28s to know in AZ.

[Prep Baseball Arizona @PrepBaseballAZ]

‘28 INF Max Gamboa (Desert Ridge)

Quick hands. Fast barrel. Jumps the first pitch of the inning and turns it around for a leadoff tank to get Desert Ridge rolling.
