Kai Takeuchi (‘24 GA) gets B1 started fast as he hits this one hard back up the middle for a knock. Solid athlete, looked good in CF in this one. #PGHS @PG_Uncommitted @VikingsLakeside

Takeuchi continues a hot start to the Fall, displaying advanced lower half sink and impressive bat to ball skills. Well-controlled hand load with strong ability to manipulate the barrel.

In 6 AB’s, he’s has put every ball in play. Advanced RHH with advanced mechanics and plate discipline. Made some improvements over the last month and it’s showing right away. Raked this summer, more 2 come���

[Justin Goetz @JGoetzBaseball]

Kai & I spent 30 min properly sequencing upper half w/o taking a swing, doing various drills.

Results: Better launch position, shoulder plane more linear, barrel in zone longer, quicker 2 ball, front hip clearance @ land, top/knuckle spin to backspin

Reid Brosnan (‘24, GA) opens up 87-90 w/ good life out of the hand & dotting up the lower half, flashing tight lateral SL upper 7s & has shown a CH; high level @PG_Uncommitted arm w/ good body #PGFirecracker

‘24 RHP Reid Brosnan @PBR_Uncommitted

Was impressive today for @Official_ECB , showing feel for his intriguing 3 pitch mix that featured a rare spin CH.

Gradual build up of pace in up+down+out phases allows for ease of opp & fluidity throughout.
