John Michael Pickens threw for the first time in nearly two weeks yesterday.

The LHP turned in a 4 2/3 innings gem, a season high, while shutting down the Murray State lineup.

We would love to see you today….it’s going to be really fun day at The PATT!!

OF Christian Kelley (2026) just misses leaving the yard but settles for a stand up double.

Tilted path with a ton of pull side juice, doubled down the LF line last night as well.

Golden Gophers trail 3-1, coming to bat T5.

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

RHP/SS Bronson Moore (@Bronson_Moore03, 2028) impressive in his start against a quality 7A club.

Higher 3/4 slot, low effort delivery with feel to rip of tightly spun breaking balls in any count. Doubles as a quality SS/hitter.

FB: 80-83 mph (held throughout)
CB: 71-72 (+ feel & spin)

3B Will Vaughan (@WilliamVaughan_, 2027)
played a tun on this swing to cut the Golden Gophers deficit to 3-2, still hitting T6.

Middle of the order bat that has got off some impressive swings this weekend. Big run producer for the Gophers.

1B/RHP Slade Wilson (2026) works a long AB, eventually lining a 3-2 offering the other way for a single. Simple and efficient path with the hands.

He’s left stranded but the Golden Gophers lead 2-1, headed to T5.

2B Caleb Chapman (2026) with a loud leadoff backside double to get the Golden Gopher 1st inning going.

Chapman later scores on a fielder’s choice to stake Hueytown to an early 1-0 lead, headed to B1.

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

RHP/SS Jackson Carmichael (@Jackson9644, 2026) attacking the zone with both pitches, able to mix and match in any count.

Clean operation from a high 3/4 slot. Quick arm, can spot the fastball to both sides of the dish. High spin breaking ball.

FB: 85-86 mph
CB: 73-74 mph

Final line: 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 6 Ks

@EastMissBB recruit.

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

SS Bronson Moore (2028) with another quality swing to find a hole for a single to CF.

Does a job here as the Golden Gophers trying to get something started offensively.

UMS-Wright leads 1-0, T6. #ALSouth26

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

Big swing in a big spot for OF Christian Kelley (2026).

The right-handed simplifies & pulls the barrel in to get to this pitch & drives it down the LF line for an RBI double.

Golden Gophers cut into the deficit to make it 2-1, headed to the 7th.

This young man is as consistent as they come with lots of game experience. Just a SO but already with about 40 V starts under his belt and 150 at bats and holds down the middle of the field at SS.

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

INF Bronson Moore (2028) with a nice piece of hitting as he drops one in the backside gap for a knock.

Hueytown loads the bases in the first, looking to take an early lead.

[Hueytown HS Baseball @GoldenGopherBB]

This guy has some wheels and can hawk a ball down in the OF….Solid game @BTowns2027

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

OF Braylon Towns (@BTowns2027, 2027) picked up a single in hist first at-bat, follows it up with a sac-fly to CF here.

Golden Gophers knot this game up at 2-2.

Dirtbag of the game…nice job @Jackson9644

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

SS Jackson Carmichael (@Jackson9644, 2026) drops a single into right here as he reaches for the third time today.

Would later come around to score, Hueytown regains the lead.

3-2, B5.

@EastMissBB signee.

@WilliamVaughan_ is a dog on the mound. Super competitive and gets after it.

[Prep Baseball Alabama @PrepBaseballAL]

Quick glance at RHP Will Vaughan (@WilliamVaughan_, 2027) who turned in six strong innings in his start.

Worked in the low-80’s with the FB from a higher, nearly OTT slot. Showed mid-70’s curveball as a secondary offering.

Next up is P/1B #14, Slade Wilson. Slade has been with the Gophers for 4 seasons and this will be his 2nd as a varsity contributor. Slade looks to split a good amount of time at 1B, as well as be one of our top returning arms on the mound. Slade is a very hard worker and always l
