Day two allowed the decorated baseball roster to showcase their 5 Tool talents within a well-organized Baseball Nation led instructional showcase setting. Hitters received 40 balls each within a situational hitting showcase that allowed them to demonstrate their bunting, hitting for power, hitting for contact and opposite field hitting talents. Every athlete received numerous fielding reps with instruction between each rep from Baseball Nation coaching staff and MLB scouts. Aaron Galvan, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley commit from Vela Edinburg HS, finished the day ranked the #1 overall baseball athlete on the diamond. He posted a throwing velocity of 87 mph, while displaying power to all fields going gap to gap and finishing the event second in homeruns. Aaron ran a 60 Yard Dash of 7.0 seconds and received the highest hitting scores from the MLB scouts in attendance – posting an 8 out of 8 grade on Hitting Power and 7 of 8 Bat Control score. New York Mets Scout Tom McLamore “Aaron was hands down the best bunter at this event as well.” The only other athlete to receive an 8 of 8 Hitting Power score was USA Baseball’s 15U 97 mph flame thrower Masyn Winn from Kingwood HS. Masyn showcased at the Shortstop position and finished the event as the #1 Ranked Overall Shortstop, posting a 7 of 8 Fielding Ability score with an arm velocity across the diamond of 94 mph. Winn finished the EXOS Baseball Academy powered by Blast Motion as the #2 overall ranked player – tremendous talent.

Other standouts on day two were Mathew De La Cruz ( Edinburg Vela HS), who finished as the #2 Ranked Overall Shortstop and #3 ranked overall player at the showcase.  Jack Sigrist, the Plano West Class of 2018 Wichita State Commit, ran the best 60-yard dash at 6.39 seconds! Sigrist was one of the most polished and well-rounded 5 tool talents, finishing the event ranked as the #6 overall player. The athlete that made the most out of the opportunity was All-State shortstop Isiah Campa from Socorro High School (Class of 2018). The lefty hitter displayed tremendous bat speed and bat control hitting to all fields on command. Campa was smooth in the field and his throws were always on point with an 85-mph velocity behind them. The Socorro HS talent finished the event ranked as the #5 overall performer at the showcase. Campa and De La Cruz exhibited why they are the best kept secret in the state of Texas for a program looking for a polished and athletic shortstop with top of the order hitting abilities.

Behind the plate, Colby Seltzer from Eaton High School led all catchers in overall performance.  The Honorable Mention TSWA All-State Catcher and 6-5A Offensive MVP, ran a 6.9 60-yard dash and was graded at a 7 of 8 hitting power wise.  His bat speed was top shelf at the event, lacing ball after ball into the outfield with top ranked exit velocities.  Colby was top five in homeruns and opposite field hitting abilities.  Tyler Wade from Midland High School impressed college coaches and scouts in attendance with his bat control and power to all fields, lacing balls to the right field gaps on command and going yard multiple times as well. His base running speed and awareness was tops at the event, additionally impressing with an 87-mph throwing velocity across the diamond.
