Updated Roster for the Underclass Preview

Fri February 8, 2013

By Mike Penn
Michigan Scouting Director

The Underclass Preview on Saturday will see plenty of talent walk through the door. Here are some quick notes from some of the players we have seen thus far:

  • Karl Kauffmann headlines the 2016 class.  Kaufmann is entering his freshman year at Brother Rice and has a ton of upside. We have received reports of him being up to 88mph this past summer.
  • Alexx Zielinski, the current No. 1 ranked player in the Class of 2015 has been in the middle of basketball but will attend Saturday.  We have had the 6-foot-5 lefty up to 84mph last summer.
  • Bryce Kelley (2016) has also been playing basketball but was up to 84 last summer from the left side.
  • Riley McCauley has been up to 87mph this off-season at a workout in Madison Heights.
  • Jacob Vander Wal ran a 6.76 for us at an event earlier this winter in mid January. Vander Wal has a good bounce in his step and shows good actions in the outfield.
  • Dennis Jordan has been up to 85mph off the mound for us back in January as well.  The 6-foot-5 right-hander is high up over the top but gets good downhill plane when it is going well.


Here is the current roster for the Underclass Preview. We will post a finalize roster late Friday afternoon.
