The first two days of the 2021 AABC Don Mattingly World Series have definitely shown power at the plate.
Stix Baseball 2022 Scout’s Damian Bravo started his tournament off on a high note on Tuesday as he gave his team the lead with a two-run home run to left field in the top of the sixth inning.
For the lead!@StixBaseballTX 2022 Scout’s Damian Bravo (@bravoo2248) gets a hold of one for a 2-run home run off the top of the wall in LCF to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the 6th. #FiveToolPower

Starting the day off on Wednesday with a grand slam was GPS Legends baseball 17U Puffer’s Pierce George. The ball was crushed into left field on the second day of the tournament.
No doubter!@GPSTEXASBASEBA1 17U Puffer’s Pierce George (@PierceGeorge8) absolutely crushes this ball well over the wall in left for a GRAND SLAM! Big time power bat in this dude. #FiveToolPower

Not once, but twice on Tuesday afternoon did Twelve Recruits 2022 Maroon’s Justin Vossos go deep. The Texas A&M commit hit a two-run home run to right center field and then went deep to left for a three-run shot. Vossos’s power continued into day two of the tournament as well as he hit a triple to right center field.
He does it again!@TwelveRecruits 2022 Maroon’s Justin Vossos (@VossosJustin) belts his second home run of the game and is absolutely on fire. #FiveToolPower

Another multi home run day came from Albuquerque Baseball Academy 2022 Lehman’s Gene Trujillio. The uncommitted ‘23s second home run of the day came in the form of a two run blast to right center field.
