Adam Hall played in the 14th Annual Perfect Game All-American Classic, held at the Petco Park in beautiful San Diego.
The West team jumped on Hall and his East teammates early and often enroute to a convincing 13-0 win.
San Diego native Nick Allen, who was named the Perfect Game defensive player of the year during the festivities in his hometown, stole the show with his glove in the top of the first inning. With a runner on first, Allen dove deep in the hole at shortstop and showed off his great arm to get Hall at first base by half a step. It was the first highlight that Allen gave his hometown crowd, but it certainly wasn’t his last.
No. 1 overall prospect Hunter Greene got the start for the West squad on the mound, showing off his arm while touching 97 with his fastball. The 97 mile per hour fastball was tops in the game, and Greene also had the fastest exit velocity at the plate, hitting a ball up the middle at 105 miles per hour. There is much debate on whether Greene will be a pitcher or a shortstop at the next level, and he certainly showed the ability to do either extremely well.
Hall played 2nd base in the game went to the plate twice without getting a hit.
