Prep Baseball Report

PBR ProCase West - Thomas Young


Nick Rupp
Nevada Scouting Director

The PBR ProCase - West was an Invite Only event for the top draft prospect in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah’s 2024 and 2025 Classes that will feature a Pro-Style Workout with Live Game Play to follow at the University of Southern California on Sunday, June 4, 2023. This event will serve as the final identifier for the inaugural 2023 PBR All-American Game where the top 2024 and 2025 prospects from around the country will go head to head in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at American Family Field. 

This event featured the complete Prep Baseball Report Tech Package that includes a Vizual Edge assessment, TrackMan Pitching / Hitting Analysis and Blast Motion In-Swing Analysis. The technology used at the PBR ProCase - West parallels the technology used by professional teams to monitor and evaluation performance within their own organizations and has become a streamlining feature in the evaluation of amateur athletes compared to players currently in their system.

We continue our PBR ProCase Highlight series with Nevada's #5 ranked 2024 and uncommitted, Thomas Young

Hit: RHH. Athletic, squared set up. Subtle sink back load with quiet stretch for separation. Stays in his legs well with balance throughout. Short path to the ball with uphill through the zone. Understands how to elevate with flashes of his present power on display. Feel for the barrel with understanding how to use all fields.

Arm: LH. OF-90 mph. Compact, quick arm cycle. High 3/4 slot. Understands how to play his natural run. Accurate with present carry.
Defense: Athleticism shined through during his defensive workout. Bouncy actions that allowed him to get through the ball with controlled pace and on line to his target. Feet helped maintain his smooth actions. Advanced first step in the OF, showed his ability to range laterally during the Live Game as he made a difficult play down the line with easy and fluidity. Excellent defender that should transition to the next level at the CF position.
