Scouting Report  
 
Fanelli is a wiry/athletic 5-foot-10 158 pound RHP/3B an improved
8.18 60. Pitching-  On the mound; sets up center rubber, sliding to glove side with pivot. Center chest balance point; strong front side with a recoil after release. Moderate arm swing; late acceleration through a ¾ arm slot. FB showed some sink, sitting 77-80 MPH. Curveball with 12-to-6 shape with early action. Works in a knuckleball at 61-63 with some flutter. Projects well on the mound but still with plenty of time to polish his all-around game.

 
What to Expect 
"Fanelli has made an early impression as a 2020. We first saw him as a rising 8th grader touching 76 MPH. This past summer he ran his FB up to 80. Works downhill with an infield like arm action. Breaking ball has potential to sharpen up and be a true 12-to-6 hammer. Toils with a knuckleball as his changeup at a respectable velocity. Excited to see him once again on the 12th."
