Great swing from Chris Newell!
Great stretch from Chris Newell!
The opposite field gap is a great place to hit, because it keeps you on the ball; thus, it should create more consistent hard contact.

For hitters like Newell, who carry a Big Gulp-sized treasure trove, it's these types of things that turn tools into results.

Newell is really turning the corner, and it's damn fun to watch. He's hitting .433 this month in 30 at-bats, he has 5 multi-hit games so far in August and has hits in 10 games in a row.

More Cowbell Please! #dodgers

Caleb Flannery (‘27, PA) ⬇️

Athletic RHH C, polished profile on both sides of ball. Quick barrel through zone w/ easy pop on this 2R HR to LF. Good hip hinge, using ground to generate power. Quick transfer behind the dish w/ strong arm through 2B on throw downs.

I’d expect Doogan to earn some impressive eyes on him next spring with a committed winter training program to continue to develop the body. Pitched very well. ITZ, competed, CH very effective, had really nice feel on the mound.

Really nice LHP out of the Philly Catholic League.

‘27 C Caleb Flannery
@C_Flannery2027

Rising star in the 27 class in PA. Had a terrific spring within the Philly Catholic League. Flannery has a bright future behind the plate.

6’ | 170 | 3.75

▫️80mph C velo
▫️1.96sec Pop Time
▫️91EV | visible bat speed

Excited to see what the next 9-12 months brings for Flannery. With a frame to build on, he already has tools college coaches look for.

Flannery showcased additional traits worth mentioning:
▫️Vocal leader behind the plate
▫️Hustled up the line to back up throws
▫️Overall great personality

Some added motivation for doogs moving forward is cool with me. One of the most competitive dudes I’ve coached. Would go to war with him on the bump any day of the week and he’s only gonna get better! @PrepDevon

We wouldn’t have been as successful on the mound this year as we have been without Caleb behind the dish, great player better dude. Well deserved @C_Flannery2027
