I am blessed to announce that I will be continuing my academic and baseball career at Guilford College.
I want to take this time to thank God, my family, Coachs that pushed me to be the best player I can be, and thank you to all the people that believed in me

It's been a long road back for 2027 RHP @BubbaWall013 of @BaseballRSC after having TJS in October of 2025. Now healthy and medically cleared, Wallace built up some innings this summer and heads into the Fall with Player Development goals geared towards contributing on the bump for Varsity this Spring
Wallace's FB was up to 77 MPH on August 16th. He also featured a CB, SL, and CH. He does a great job taking the spin off the CH, averaging 915 on the spin rate. The CB and SL featured some solid HB, but are similar enough in shape that he should focus on one sound grip that maximizes the HB movement.
He's got a big leg kick that I like as it plays well with an unorthodox arm circle to create some deception. Flashes some interesting separation that can be further maximized with some more efficient movements. At 5'11" 155, adding more muscle and physicality will bump up his metrics in time.
3.9 GPA, good student with interest in studying Engineering in College.

2027 RHP @Austin1hopper of @BaseballRSC has quietly worked his way into conversations about who are the top Uncommitted rising senior arms in WNC after an excellent 2nd half of the Varsity Season and a strong Senior Legion campaign for Post 423
Austin's FB definitely showcased more "hop" this year as he was sitting 84-86, touching 87 MPH. After struggling with command in the 1st half of the Varsity season, Hopper hit a new level in the 2nd half, earning some big W's, including one over county rival ER to complete the season sweep of a strong Cavs team. He also assumed the role of Ace during Area IV Senior Legion play this summer.
His FB had spins up to 2105 and solid IVB numbers from a tilt averaging 12:15. The SL spins were up to 2247 and the shape held tight. Takes the spin of the CH well (avg 1372) but is still working on feel. At only 5'11" 155, Hopper has a slender frame with a lot of quick twitch muscle. Really good body control for such a quick arm. Once he gets physical, 90+ will come quicker.
Solid 4.2 GPA, but still Undecided on Career Path. Great JUCO Route Candidate as I feel he'll be a quick riser.

There's a solid group of 2028 Catchers emerging in WNC and @D_Felix2028 of @ACALionBaseball is firmly in the middle of those conversations
Excellent game manager who shows maturation beyond his years. Great presence behind the dish, pitchers love him and love throwing to him. Active on the block and recover, throws are accurate and efficient. Pops were down to 1.98 - 2.06 seconds and will get even better as he adds more arm strength. Very efficient transfers
Showcases well, but Felix is best appreciated by watching over the course of a game; constantly steps up to the moment. Felix has the personality archetype that Coaches love to recruit.
EVs were solid, up to 87 MPH, barrel action is much better than from what I evaluated a year ago. Balanced, on plane, buries the eyes in the swing, hips fire. 5'9" 165 frame has plenty of room for more muscle. Well Coached over at ACA w/ Coach Z. Plays quality summer ball with Coach @rickdearmas28 and @nextlevelbbnc
Excellent student who has a 4.38 GPA and an interest in Engineering/STEM
I am usually not concerned about bringing players out to our Prospect Filmings during or after their Freshman seasons, as its still so early in the recruiting process. However, I usually ID a handful that are displaying above average tools.
Although RHP @trejox411 of @BaseballRSC is only a 2029, I saw him perform at a very high level this Spring & Summer and invited him out 8/16 to start documenting his above average tools. This past Spring I saw him earn the Save in a close rivalry game vs CHASE, and then this summer I saw his FB get up to 86 MPH while throwing for Senior Legion Post 423
On 8/16, the 6ft 170 lbs Trejo sat 81-83 MPH w/ spins up to 2125. He's got a very quick arm that works from a shorter, compact arm circle. He creates good direction and keeps his eyes steady. He's also averaging close to 16in of IVB on the FB.
He likes throwing the CH, its a higher spinner, averaging 1849, avg of 14.5 HB. If he stays down in the zone, looks like it could generate GBs. SL is tight, spins up to 1936, but I like the action. Attacks hitters, has presence on the mound. Pitched above his age all year as full-time Varsity and Senior Legion. Special arm, needs to manage it well over the next few seasons as he could be an Ace for 3 more seasons.
3.7 GPA, undecided on degree path, but he's only a Sophomore. Good kid who has dealt with some adversity already.
