Connor Jones, left-handed pitcher, Alpharetta, Ga.

Ryan Lawlor, left-handed pitcher, Savannah, Ga.

Lawlor is a soft tossing lefty that sits in the mid 80s, with a crafty changeup and curveball.

Skyler Weber, catcher, Gainesville, Ga.

Weber, a catcher, was named defensive player of the year in his region, but also hit .373 with four home runs.
