Another exciting Impact ID Camp took place this past weekend in Holly Springs, North Carolina. Check out the action below…
Top 5 Prospects:
1. Stephen Kriner, OF, Freedom Christian – 2023 Grad
This was my first time seeing Mr. Kriner and man was he exciting to watch! Stephen would run a 6.65 on the day and also showed athleticism on the diamond. In the box, he’s a quick twitch right handed hitter that sprayed balls all over the yard. I’m looking forward to following Kriner in the upcoming years..
2. Joe Cash, OF, Spartanburg – 2023 Grad
We have seen Cash over the past several years and he continues to make strides. One area of his game that was very impressive on Sunday was the 6.85 sixty he ran. He’s gotten physical stronger in the last 12 months that has really helped his game. Keep a close on Cash; he’s going to be a good one!
3. Connor Radford, INF, Hunt – 2025 Grad
Radford can flat pick it! The scariest part about Connor is he’s just an 8th grader. He showed really good actions in the middle infield and has a feel for the game. Write this name down, he will be exciting to follow.
4. James Downum, 1B/RHP, Edenton Holmes – 2023 Grad
Mr. Downum is a guy you can’t miss. He’s 6’5 and wiry with a ton of growth left in the body. In the box, he showed a really good swing that’s only going to continue to get better as he keeps getting stronger. On the mound Downum fastball touched 81 mph with a 65 mph breaking ball. The future is bright for James Downum.
5. Patrick Maloney, C/INF, Broughton – 2024 Grad
Maloney has arm strength that plays in between the lines. On the mound he sat 76-78 with a hard 68 mph slider. It’s a little raw on the mound, but there is a ton to like in the upside and projection of the arm. Behind the plate he would flash a 2.16 pop time. Keep eye on Maloney as he continues to develop.
Just missed –
Nicholas Edwards, INF, Broughton – 2022 Grad
There’s always something to a baseball player that plays with a ton of energy! This describes Mr. Edwards. Nic ran a 7.3 in the sixty and showed really good actions in the middle of the diamond. In the box, he showed a short compact swing.
