Power Baseball 2021 Summer Team Tryouts Standouts Part 2

This past weekend one of the top organizations in the country in Power Baseball held their 2021 Summer Team Tryouts at Turn 2 Sports and Performance and Lake Brantley HS in Orlando, FL. This event featured 300+ players from the 2022-2025 classes from all over the state of Florida and some neighboring states as well. Pitchers threw light bullpens on Friday night followed by a pro-style workout for position players on Saturday and game action on Sunday. 

Our scouting staff came away extremely impressed by the level of talent across the board so for that reason we will be splitting up our Standouts breakdown into three parts. Below is Part 2 of our breakdown with reports/notes on each. Please make sure you are following us on our social media outlets as well as we post highlights, clips, and announcements on past and upcoming events.

Young backstop to follow with offensive upside.
