Last week we had our 2024 Uncommitted Games that was hosted at Youngsville Sports Complex. This invite-only event was the last showcase event of the year and the rosters did not disappoint. With over 40 top uncommitted players in attendance, along with 15+ college coaches from around the Southeast, this event was a fun one to watch. We take a look at some of the highlights and top performers.
POSITION PLAYERS
Kannon Templet (2026 - IF - Southside) was a name that stood out. Starting with a nice round of BP going to all fields, Templet continued to find barrels during the live game. Templet launched a HR to left and had multiple hits in game. With a consistent line drive approach, Templet was able to go gap to gap with strength with a Max Exit Velocity of 92.5mph. The middle infielder also made several plays at shortstop and showed quick feet and smooth actions.
Landry Smart (2026 - OF - Live Oak) had one of the better performances of the day. Smart posted a Max Exit Velo of 92.6mph during BP and show pull side pop. In game, Smart totaled 4 hits on the day including a 2B and a 3B off the wall down the left field line. Smart showed the ability to go the other way as well with a line drive hit to right center. The athletic outfielder was able to track down flyballs all day and can also play 1B.
Gabriel McKee (2025 - C - Rosepine) is one of the better defensive catchers in the 2025 class. With a 2.08 in game pop time, McKee was able to throw out a few runners trying to take a bag. During BP, McKee sent a ball well over the LF fence and was gap to gap with a Max Exit Velo of 93.3mph. Mckee showed the ability to control the run game and pitching staffs, and also be a vocal leader behind the dish.
Robert Adair (2026 - IF - Walker) made some noise at the plate. Adair's BP was a professional BP going gap to gap and showing good barrel awareness. Short to the ball and explosive back side. In live action, Adair sent multiple balls to the fence and recorded an in game Max Exit Velocity of 100.1mph that resulted in a double. Big time bat in the 2026 class.
Tyler Bickett (2025 - IF/RHP - Central Private) was a two way prospect that showed promise on both ends.
