Ronald Sims
Mississippi Scouting Director

The 2017 Prep Baseball Report Future Games has come and gone, as 3 uncommitted underclass prospects for the state of Mississippi descended onto Grand Park in Westfield, IN for the annual, prestigious event. Over 250 college coaches from across the country were on-hand to watch the top uncommitted prospects in the Prep Baseball Report coverage area compete over a 4-day span.

Over the course of the last few weeks, our scouting staff has compiled complete analysis of the 3 Mississippi prospects who represented the state on the national stage the Future Games created.

Today, our scouting staff wraps up the 2017 Future Games coverage with a final recap of each player's performance, including video from the weekend in early August.

Athletic 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame. Long, loose, quick arm action from a high-3/4 arm slot.  Strong at balance position, working in-line and downhill with dominate front side, some effort and good finish to the plate. The baseball jumps out of his hand, sitting 88-92 mph with late life and deception to his fastball. Secondary stuff is still developing, but he flashed the ability to spin a tight breaking ball at times, with 11/5 shape and depth at 70-74 mph and a change up with occasional sink at 75-77 mph. Slider was 77 mph with good spin.
