Every Friday National Scouting Supervisor Nathan Rode provides a roundup of insider recruiting information and commitments throughout the PBR coverage area: The Buzz. CLICK HERE to take a look at this week’s National Buzz. With that in mind, let’s take an in depth look at the Illinois prospects who have committed to colleges, with detailed scouting information.

Jared Cenal, RHP, Tampa Catholic, 2016
Creighton University

3/31/15 - Uncommitted junior. 6-foot-4 170 pounds with a tall, lanky, and projectable body. Quick motion. Takes ball out in line and he lands in line. High ¾ arm slot with a loose working arm. Threw a four seam and two seam, both had arm side run. Two seam runs down and in. Two seam was 83-84 mph and four seam was 85-86 mph. 73-75 slow slider that has more width than depth but breaks early. A bit flat. Needs work on off speed. Velocity should increase with added strength and maturity. Saw jump in velocity in Jupiter sitting 87-90 topping out at 91 mph.

Ben Rowdon, SS, DeLand, 2016
Lake Sumter State

3/5/15 - 5-foot-11, 150 pound infielder with a lean loose athletic body. Very good actions with soft hands in the infield. Arm is slightly below avg and needs to get a little stronger to stay at SS down the road. Has plenty of range and appears to be at least an avg runner. Has quickness in the bat with a good line drive stroke. Good approach with quiet hands. Hands stay inside ball and uses the whole field. Good bat control. Makes a lot of contact.

Jagger McCoy, LHP, Boca Raton Community, 2016
St. John's River State

10/22/15- Uncommitted 2016 with a loose, lean and projectable body at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. He shows an over the top arm slot and sits in the 80-82 mph range and can touch 84 mph. 65-66 mph 12/6 curveball with some depth.

Danny Vaughn, 3B, South Dade Senior, 2016
Charleston Southern University

10/6/15- Strong and athletic body with a wide back. Open at the plate with good rhythm. Gets a separation for his load and a leg kick for his stride. Easy swing with a nice bat plane through the zone and the ball really jumps off his bat. Soft hands in the field with an above average arm across the diamond.
