- Will Sanford (2024, San Diego, Calif.) showcased loud stuff to start the day. The right-handed utilizes an athletic delivery down the mound with good arm speed present. The fastball sat 89-92 mph, topping out at 93 mph. A quality downhill plane allows the offering to work well at the bottom of the zone. Sanford paired the heater with a sharp, 11-5 curveball at 73-76 mph. Late bite allows the offering to generate whiffs often. Sanford also showed feel for a changeup in the low-80s. Good arm speed deception allows the offering to get hitters out front. It is a quality pitch mix that can keep a lineup quiet.

- Will Sanford is a 2024 3B/RHP/SS with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from San Diego, CA who attends The Rock Academy. Sanford was impressive both from the infield and on the mound for the week, showcasing solid range up the middle at his primary position with sound glovework. Sanford has room to continue developing the frame with athleticism already evident. On the mound, Sanford ran the fastball up to 85 mph from a high 3/4 slot, displaying a smooth repeatable delivery. He sequenced a fading changeup and sweeping breaker well to complement the fastball and keep hitters off balance. Offensively, Sanford flashed a balanced stroke with lots of strength present in the hands. He has raw power potential that will continue to increase in the future. Ran a 6.93 sixty yard dash. Good student. Named to Top Prospect List.

He was confident, worked quickly and threw a lot of strikes. His fastball topped out at 86 mph. He flashed a curveball that has potential to be a great out pitch at 71 mph. He features a lean, athletic build that allows him to field his position and look athletic.
