Scout Day 2008: Belton-Honea Path Bears

By: Nick Nickles-February 5, 2008

Coach Steve Williams opened the door for DP at his fine facility in the corner of Anderson County on Tuesday night for Scout Day in conjunction with the Westside Rams. On a soft track from a soaking rain the day before, it was obvious that Coach Williams had some good athletes. B-HP turned in decent times even on this saturated outfield track that left runners with wet backs. B-HP will be led by two-way players Barrett Phillips and Matthew Moore. If the Bears can generate enough offense they could walk away with the Region 1-3A crown.

Top Prospects

 Rank Name Class Notes
 T1  Matthew Moore Jr A very good athlete. May have the quickest infield actions in the state regardless of class. QB on the football team. Needs more At-Bats. Fun to watch defensively. 
 T1 Barrett Phillips SrTwo-way player, was exceptional on the mound tonight. Unsigned senior lefty in the mid-80’s with a hook interested??? He’s available and legit.
 T3 Jacob Tavernier  Soph Young outfielder that can run well. Has good hands at the plate.
 T3Brody Greer Jr Greer is a solid player. Swings the pole a little bit and competes. He’s a guy for some one. 
 5 Andrew Cox 8th grade This kid looks like a junior in high school. A good comaparison would be ex-greenville raider Matt Lentz of 2007. Athletic.   
 6 Austin Gambrell Fr Two-way player, topped 81 on the bump. If he takes care of his wing, big velos are on the way.
 7 Jared Jennings Fr Will start at catcher as a freshman and runs a 7.19. Looks very solid for a 9th grader;
 8 Tyler Lollis Jr Contact hitter and he can run okay
 9  Matthew Charping Fr Bat-speed was evident in his AB.
 10 Cody Gambrell Sr Contact hitter that can run a little.
