Live Looks: Playing Catchup with the ACC

Well, life happens, right?

I’ve been boarded up with a ton of school in recent weeks and it’s been tough to find time to write up reports and clip together film for these. With that said, it’s still a goal to post these reports and film for readers, so while it’s late, you still get to enjoy it! This edition features players from the Duke/Clemson series and the UNC/Georgia Tech series that I scouted in middle/late March. The UVA bats and players from the Texas A&M/South Carolina series will be posted at a later date, hopefully as soon as possible.

It seems like every year there’s a diaper dandy who walks onto a college campus fresh off high school graduation and immediately shows out. The 2023 and 2024 draft classes are in incredibly healthy shape as we look from afar with uber-talented kids having made it to campus this spring.
