Last week I took a look at the top 2018 graduates that are uncommitted. This week I want to look at the top 2019 graduates that are uncommitted. That is the majority of the class with only OF/RHP Blake Adams and C Cason Tollett who have committed to Arkansas. Below you will find the top uncommitted pitchers in the 2019 class.

Zac Morris, LHP, Cabot HS
Morris is a 6-foot-1 200-pound left-hander with a large frame and a solid build. He pitches from a H 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm. He uses a simple repeated delivery that with some effort. He locates his fastball in the bottom half of the strike zone with a fastball 82-84 mph. His curveball is thrown 71-73 mph with 1/7 shape with depth. He threw his change up on limited bases 72-73 mph. Overall Morris a large framed left-hander with a quick arm, which leads to me projecting a high ceiling. 

Mckaden Templeton, RHP, Rogers HS
Templeton is a 5-foot-10 155-pound right-hander with an athletic frame and build. He pitches from an H ¾ arm slot with a quick arm speed. He maintains rhythm and balance throughout his simple delivery, which allows him to command the strike zone on a consistent basis.
