Fastball has slight run to the pitch up to 84 mph.  Breaking ball has 2/8 action with gradual break.

Christopher Blair, Southern
Ranking: 58

Athletic frame at 5-foot-10 155-pounds. Controlled delivery with a loose arm action and some arm speed.  Pitches with regular effort. Looks to have more in the tank as he fills out his frame. Fastball up to 82 mph in the spring when last seen. Breaking ball had 2/8 action with tight rotation and late break.  Inconsistent command of the breaking ball with near fastball arm speed. Shows nice feel for a changeup with command. (Committed to Millersville since article)

Kade Keys (pictured) St. Mary???s
Ranking: 64
Scouting Report
Athletic frame at 6-foot-3 180-pounds. Throws from a ¾ arm angle with arm speed and a short arm action. Pitches with some effort and falls towards third base in follow through. Pitches with some effort. Fastball had slight run at 80 mph. Breaking ball has potential to be a power pitch with 1/7 movement at 69 mph. Gets good lower half usage possibly better hip load to create torque and increase lower half efficiency. Looks to have more in the tank. (Committed to Shepherd since article)
