Lucas Cannady (2026 Tallahassee, FL.) with a 2-run triple to right to extend his teams lead. Tall solid built athlete. Shows good speed around the bases. Little lean back early in setup but gets shoulders level and bat to ball well. #14uWWBA @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/pKk6WEHK7o

Really like this grab for the #Clemson staff, pulling another young talent out of Florida in 2026 3B Lucas Cannady. Athletic/strong 6-1 frame, runs a 6.75 w/ defensive versatility & big arm. Finds barrel often, ball jumps w/ authority. #112 per @PerfectGameUSA https://t.co/avQh0sp3hE
