Impressive week for my 2028 grb rays (16u) team at the abc 17u invite. My team won the pool going 3-0. Unfortunately fell short in the sweet 16 out of 128 teams finishing 4-1.

Proud to have found a home @RaysIllinois. My 2028 (16U) Green teammates and I played up this weekend @Bullpenevents 17U Invite.

Congrats to our 2027 (17U) Green team who are still rolling!

C/1B Flip Acevedo (Huntley, 2028) showing off some strength in the swing.
Barrels this the other way for a loud double, able to stay through the ball and drive it to all fields.

OF MJ Castelloni (Fremd, 2028) is a good follow.
Swing works from the left side w/ projection in his 6-foot, 161-pound frame. 👍
Looks the part in the outfield with arm strength (T85).

Not the outcome the team and I wanted, still took some positives away from the elite competition in Hoover, Alabama @PerfectGameUSA National Championships. Here are a few of my hits and plays I made at 2B over the tournament. @PG_Illinois @RaysIllinois @f_nuch
Showed confidence in multiple pitches in any count. Great outing!

Elliot Ross (‘28 IL)
Creating strikes at the plate at a 82% clip thru 3 innings in relief. Sitting consistent in the mid 80s with 2 K’s.

Comes off the bat hard and low to drive ball into RF. Finds some grass along the line and brings a runner home.

Dominant performance! @JackPostma44

Legit arm on the mound today. Heater living well at 88-90 mph, just topped at 91, breaker sitting high 70s. Already at 3 strikeouts in the second inning. Focused delivery with low effort movements. Tall projectable frame with long levers.
