Maybe the best news I have heard coming out of the scrimmage.

Tanner Smith home run, 105 off the bat

Saw him connect on a line out to CF while viewing.

Have not had much offense at catcher since Romero, maybe that changes in 2025.

Stud

Coral Gables/IMG/MDC, then ... Stillwater, OK?! I know they're decent and have the Holliday family connection, but why wasn't this kid a Cane last year?

Glad he's here now, nonetheless.

Overall Takeaways from the day:
1. Max Galvin. That’s it, that’s the takeaway. Absolute stud.
2. The bats are starting to heat up, lots of loud outs and a couple of homers by a variety of guys. More importantly, guys started to show a sense of rythmn at the plate.
3. Nick Robert showed he can be more than just a “contact pitcher” his slider looked unhittable today
4. Whoever can showcase better hitting between Peralta and Torres will play. Both are extremely plus defenders with speed, getting some production at the bottom of the lineup is crucial.
5. Evan Tavares has turned a corner. All fall and starting spring we heard reports about him not being able to throw the ball to the bases. Today he threw out at least 3 guys and every throw down was legit. The guy is already a great hitting prospect at catcher, if he can keep developing behind the plate the ‘Canes have a stud on their hands
