Dan Cevette
President, New York

Our "Player Spotlights" will be reserved for any prospect across New York who's abilities on the field have made some noteworthy recent buzz. Possibly a recent event where a Top Performer Spotlight article is just not enough, or maybe a recent commitment to a major program. Whatever it is, I'll (Dan Cevette) be going in-depth on the player spotlighted below with personal insight and honest feedback. Let's get started.


Frankie Collora RHP / OF / Ward Melville, NY / 2020

CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Digging in on Collora the excitement around his potential on the mound is real. Long limbs, lean and he's not done growing. Arm-swing is clean and there's low-effort from the righty with low-80's velocity present. Has the ability to throw the CB with 12/6 tight shape and a feel for an arm-side fade change-up. The body will get stronger, and the velocity will start climbing this summer. Excited to see him in late June at the NYS Games.

SCOUTING REPORT: Frank is a 6-foot-0,150-pounds RHP/OF that ran a 4.52 home-to-first. Offensively: He hits in a crouched stance, uses a short stride and finishes with both hands on the bat with good extension and produced line drives with. Defensively: Charged the ball methodically in the outfield and made throws with 83 MPH velo. Pitching: He had a great showing on the mound. Worked with a great pace, had a clean delivery with a high leg kick, clean arm action and good finish, sat 80-83 MPH and worked down in the zone. Showed command of off-speed pitches, very deceptive change up at 71 MPH.
