LakePoint Open: Pitcher Analysis


Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director



The LakePoint Open took place on June 2nd at LakePoint Sports in Emerson, GA. The event featured over 30 prospects from five different classes (2021-2025). Prospects participated in a pro-style workout. We have already gone through and analyzed the data collected from that day, which can be viewed HERE.

We are near the end of the LakePoint Open player analysis as we take a look at the pithers. We shined a spotlight on the catchers, infielders and outfielders, previously.

At the top of this group of arms is RHP Connor Harris (North Oconee, 2022). Harris led the event in velocity with his 86.61 mph fastball that featured heavy armside run. He complimented it with a hard slider that showed swing and miss qualities, in addition to a deceptive changeup.
