New England Insider: Uncommitted Underclass Spotlight - Kevin Hummer
Name: Kevin Hummer
Position: RHP/SS
School: Shrewsbury
Class: 2017
Ranked: 104th in New England's 2017 class
Scouting Report: A good looking prospect who showed a solid glove with the proper footwork through the ball. Threw 78 mph across the diamond with accuracy and carry. The arm works very well and projects in the field and on the mound. At the plate, had a tee exit velocity of 78 mph. The swing needs physical strength, as he shows a good path to the ball. The plane is flat through the zone, he showed solid contact throughout his swings. The setup is wide and he controls the bottom half. On the mound, the fastball got up to 79 mph with arm-side run. The delivery is sound and on time. Throws from a ¾ arm slot as well as dropping down occasionally. The drop down slot is very deceptive and the spins on his pitches are done well. The breaking ball from up top, touched 65 mph and the changeup had the right spin and fade at 70 mph.
