| August 15, 2012
2012 version of the PSDS Yankees finished the summer 16-7, beating National Powers such as the East Cobb Astros, East Cobb Yankees, Team Elite, North Alabama Vipers, New England Ruffnecks & Scorpions Baseball. Additional wins against top Georgia 16u programs Home Plate Chilidogs & Baseball Scoutz has cemented the Yankee's program as one of the South's best, additionally drawing the most interest from colleges in 2012 than any year in its brief history.
Special thanks to the fantastic recruiting job by Coach Braxton Jeffers of Round Trip Baseball for assisting and helping to land so many top young players, and another great coaching job by Head Coach Jeremy Morey who made it all work.

Bradwell "Buck" Carter (2014) Lowndes High School
Buck is currently the only returning starter from the 2011 Yankees Squad. Buck stepped in and took over the fulltime catching duties after the departure of Brandon Purcell last summer, and showed he was ready to play on the national stage as a true freshman. He has light tower power and will hit in the middle of the 2012 lineup. Buck projects as a future D-1 bat if he continues to develop in coach Danny Redshaw's tradition rich Viking program. Bucks parents are Brad and Wendy from Lake Park Georgia.

Ryan Stewart (2014) Brunswick High School
Ryan is a hard nosed, hard throwing MIF & RHP from Brunswick H.S. who won over the RTB staff this past fall with his play and live arm on the mound. Ryan projects well up the middle, and has lots of room for growth over his high school career. A starter last season as a freshman for the Pirates Varsity, Ryan shows a high level of maturity on the field needed to run the Yankees defense. Ryans parents are Chris & Mary of Brunswick, Georgia

Wes Putman (2014) Savannah Christian
Wes is a tall, strong RHP and Corner Infieder from the traditionally powerful Savannah Christian program. His tall frame and power bat project well for so young a player. Wes projects as 2 way player and will get a chance to both pitch and play the corner in 2012 for the Yankees. He projects as a middle of lineup bat and potential starter next July. Wes' dad is Stewart & Libby of Savannah

Gage Patton (2014) Appling County High School
Gage comes to the Yankees as an alum of the 2011 15u RTB team, and is cut from the same mold as former Yankee star (also from Appling) Josh Barber. He is a hard nosed utility player who is primarily a 3rd baseman, but can play anywhere on the field. Gage projects as an infielder and top of the lineup bat, who we expect will be the toughest out in the Yankee lineup. His style of play while making coach Jeremy happy, is also conducive to success on the national stage. Gage's parents are Jack & Janet of Baxley.

Jarred Spivey (2014) Coffee County High School
Jarred is another 15u RTB Alum who is big and strong and projects well to the next level. As a legitimate top of the rotation starter, Jarred brings middle of the order power as well to the Yankees as a corner infielder. Jarred compares favorably at the plate to former Yankee star (and current VSU catcher) Drew Kelly. According to RTB Manager Braxton Jeffers, "Jarred can go as far as he wants in this game if he dedicates himself, and continues to make the jump to the next level". Jarred's Uncle & Aunt are Ricky & Barbara Hersey of Nicholes, Georgia, and his parents are Barry & Connie Whitley.

Christian Odom (2014) Herschel Jenkins High School
Christian is a big, strong IF/OF prospect with a very projectable frame and skill set, he also has a tremendous work ethic. Christian worked hard over the fall and received his invitation to the Yankees following his stint with the fall RTB program and coach Michael Bashlor. He should provide stability to both the corner infield and corner outfield positions because of his versatility. Christian could also see some time on the mound out of the bullpen. His parents are Robin and Wendy of Savannah, Georgia

Brandon Davis (2014) Effingham County High School
Brandon is a tall athletic outfielder that is another RTB alum. With plenty of speed in the outfield and a projectable frame, Brandon combined with Trevor Wood and Nick Higgenbothem gives the Yankees one of the fastest outfields in the South. He has all the tools in place to be a collegiate outfielder and his bat could be a plus tool if he continues to make the necessary adjustments to better pitching as he progresses up the competitive ladder. Brandon's parents are Paul & Sherrie of Guyton Georgia.

Clay Crawford (2014) Metter High School
The 15u RTB program was full of prospects last summer and the Yankees have landed another arm from that group. Clay comes from the same high school program as former Yankee ace Trace Padgett and current Georgia Bulldog Pete Nagel (RTB 2011). Clay was a starter on the Varsity as freshman in 2011 and has a great feel for pitching. He pounds the strike zone and attacks hitters which is very important at his age, he could be a top of the rotation guy if his velocity continues to improve. His outstanding showing in the fall for RTB should be a great springboard to continued success in '12. Clays parents are Robert & Cindy of Metter Georgia.

Mason Wisener (2014) Lee County High School
Mason is a slick fielding hard nosed middle infielder who comes to the Yankees right out of our own backyard here in Leesburg Georgia. He plays at the baseball factory a.k.a Lee County High School and the winningest coach in Georgia, Rob Williams. Mason is the latest in a long line of Trojan alums who have played for the Yankees over the years and should provide stability up the middle of the defense, as well as provide a top of the lineup bat. He is also a 15u RTB alum, and shows the strength of the program to provide such quality players from year to year. Mason parents are Jamie Wisener & Denise and Donovan Broome of Leesburg.

Hunter Bramlett (2015) Coffee County High School
Hunter comes to the Yankees by way of a big jump over the 15u age group in 2012 to add depth and a quality bat to the lineup. His versatility and ability to legitimately play multiple positions as well as pitch secured his place as a potential 2 year Yankee. Hunter comes to us from one of the top youth programs in Georgia, the Mavericks based out of Tifton Georgia and will compete for a spot on the Coffee varsity as a freshman. Hunters parents are Jeff and Allison from Douglas

Peyton Carter (2014) Richmond Hill High School
The last of the 15u RTB alums, Peyton brings middle of the lineup power and lots of possibilities defensively because of his versatility. He catches, pitches and can play the corner infield according to coach Braxton of RTB, but its his bat that plays right now. "He has potential to be a plus corner infielder moving forward if he keeps working hard and thats what I expect from him." The addition of Peyton on the Yankees and in the lineup with the rest of the bash brothers gives us the ability to hit with anyone in the country at the 16u level. Peytons parents are Laney & Sharon from Savannah.

Jack Bell (2014) Lee County High School
Jack is a Bull of a catcher and comes from the powerhouse Trojan baseball program in Leesburg. It took one round of watching Jack hit BP with the new BBCOR bats to know he will be a force this year. I am excited to add Jack to this team because of the offense he will bring to an already dangerous lineup. Jack comes from a good baseball family in Leesburg and his upside is huge. He also provides stability and insurance for the Yankees at the catcher position while Buck Carter recovers from a severe shoulder injury. Jacks parents are Jack & Paula from Leesburg.

Cole Bryant (2014) Colquitt County High School
Cole Bryant is a RHP from Moultrie Georgia, he is a big strong right handed pitcher who projects as a frontline starter with good arm actions. Cole is a hard thrower who's ceiling is extremely high because he is just beginning to tap into his potential. Cole could be the sleeper in this extremely talented class, and is worth watching as he develops over the next few years in the Packer system down in Moultrie.

Matt Hatcher (2015) Lee County High School
Matt burst on the scene this spring seemingly out of nowhere. He is tall at 6-3 and the ball jumps out of his hand pushing the radar gun to 84mph. He has a hammer curve and feel for pitching beyond his years. He is fearless on the mound and attacks hitters much older than him in the zone. He is not afraid of contact and seems to understand the value of keeping his pitch count down, which is also a plus for so young a player. As a freshman he has made the jump all the way to Varsity as of this post and will push for a spot in the Yankee rotation in July. Matt's parents are Randy & Jennifer of Leesburg.
