The Hawaii Sandlot Standouts - 2024 ClassThe perfect way to wrap up the 2023 baseball season is to spend it in Hawaii watching great baseball at the Hawaii Sandlot Classic. The Five Tool staff, including a few members who were at The Classic, put their heads together to publish reports on over 40 prospects who participated. We'll start with the 2024 class. |
Signing Day: 2024 Class TakeawaysThe Early Signing Period has arrived for baseball players. We take a look around Texas and beyond to highlight many of the 2024 signing classes, discuss some of the emerging trends in recruiting and much more. |
Mattingly WS Scout Notes: Pool 6Loaded with 64 teams, the 2023 AABC Don Mattingly World Series provided no shortage of standout teams and players, including a ton of uncommitted 2024 prospects. Our scouting coverage continues with Pool 6 teams, featuring the tournament champions - 2024 Texas Twelve Red Sox. |
Mattingly WS: Day Two TakeawaysThe second day of the AABC Don Mattingly World Series is a critical one. Well, they’re all critical, but day two means teams could position themselves as 2-0 in their bracket or be faced with an early bracket-elimination game. Like Monday, there were plenty of impressive performances to track. Let’s take a look at some day two takeaways. |
Final Notes from the 2022 Five Tool Hawaii Sandlot ClassicJeffrey Kahn and Tim Arakawa look back on the 2022 Five Tool Hawaii Sandlot with player standout notes by team. |
The Five Tool Five (12/28/22)The debut of the Five Tool Five takes readers to Hawaii and introduces them to a #dudealert from the 2024 class, an impressive pitching talent who took a break from the hardwood to show exciting stuff on the mound and explains why hitting a ball off a tee 101 MPH is impressive. |
Man... that is not a fun look any time of year, but especially in late December. Looks like Kahalekai growing into his frame, moving quicker on the mound with sharper, better breaking ball. Fastball coming out of hand well.
