Interview with NC State Commit Jaxon Lucas
May 14, 2021May 9th ID Camp Breakdown
On Sunday, May 9 th , IMPACT Baseball headed to Lynchburg, Virginia for the first ID Camp in the state of Virginia. The talent did not disappoint! 44 players representing 4 states came to the Hill City and showed out.
Top prospect information below:
1. Matthew Wright- McMichael (NC) 2022 GRAD. Matt is the walking definition of the word “athlete”. A High School QB, Point Guard, & Utility baseball player. You can put Matthew almost anywhere on the field and he will stand out. He is 90mph off the mound with a hard slider, runs a 6.9 60 yd dash, & during on-field BP 3 of his 10 swings found the parking lot.
2. Grayson Fitzwater- Nansemond River, 2022 GRAD. I have seen Grayson a few times now, he is probably the best defensive first baseman I have seen at the HS level. Watching him play defense is fun! A true lefthanded hitter, Grayson shows quick hands with present strength to hit the ball out middle to pull side of the field. He likes to pull the baseball, and really swings it with some authority in the box.
3. Sam Bell- Jefferson Forest, 2023 GRAD. Sam had an outstanding day at camp. Sam cruises 84-87 T88 on the mound with a nice breaking ball. He is a consistent strike thrower that has continued to make velo jumps on the mound. Kid has started to swing it lately! had a very loud round of BP banging a few balls off the wall and showed an exit velo of 92.
