Sat next to a Scout

[Joe Mayo]

Sat next to a couple of scouts during the Friday game against Florida and we talked the whole game about a ton of players.

One of the scouts said Josh Hatcher from a high school in Georgia was his favorite of all the guys from our class that he's seen. Said he's just a straight up hitter. Said his power will continue to get better and will be a 15 Homer type guy by junior year. Asked what position and he said it better be 1st base that he is an Evan White type defender which was a huge compliment he's said.

Said Tanner Allen can really hit but doesn't really know what position he'll play in college. Not an overly great defender.

Said no chance on getting Holmes from NY. Said we should get Jordan Anderson. Wasn't crazy high on him.

Both scouts said the kid we just signed from Itawamba Community College has crazy power and couldn't believe more teams didn't recruit him.

Was so so on Owen Lovell but had real good things to say about Justin Foscue

Also both scouts thought Mangum would come back and didn't think it was impossible for Gridley to return.

Good stuff.

I think Allen will start in the outfield for us or possibly third base. Just based off of team needs and where I think he might fit. Eventually I think he will end up at second base after Stovall leaves.
