No question as to who was the #CCCFallShowcase top performer — that title belongs to ‘29 OF/LHP @Carter_tipton38. Tipton was on the barrel throughout the day, beginning in BP where the ball exploded off his bat for several upper 90’s/100+ EV’s. That success continued into game play, with several more loud barrels and a PS 💣 in his first AB of the day. Creates stretch in load, tight turn of the barrel, clean path. Has the ability to backspin baseballs to all fields. Clear bat speed. Interesting potential on the mound as well - tossed two scoreless innings, striking out 5. Quick arm, FB 82-83, landing multiple off-speed pitches for strikes. Tipton has perhaps flown slightly under the radar for now, but don’t be surprised if he emerges as one of the top ‘29 LHH bats in the Midwest. Potential to be a standout offensive player is real.

Great look at 2028 Drew Burns (@DrewBurns09) on Saturday. Minimal leg lift leads to a quiet yet efficient coil of the lower half while hands stay above the baseball. Great swing path, + Bat Speed. The LHH Outfielder/First Baseman was a mainstay in the middle of the order for both Desmet High School and the Inevitable A’s National team this year. Has a chance to be an impact left-handed bat in Missouri’s ‘28 class. #CCCFallShowcase

Quick look at 2029 Outfielder Aiden Forbes (@AidenForbes2029) Flashed some bat speed during a BP round that featured several hard hit balls to pull-side. Handsy swing, stays firmly in back side. Clean, loose arm action in the outfield. #CCCFallShowcase
