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.

Alex Ungar SS / RHP / Connetquot, NY / 2020

CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Alex brings size and athleticism to the middle of the infield, as well as an option on the mound. For me, both positions are intriguing and seeing how he still has three years of HS ball to play, I wouldn't put him on one category or the other. Rangy defensively with an above average arm, bat is aggressive, and on the mound he currently shows two above average pitches from his class. Excited to see him this spring/summer.

SCOUTING REPORT: Standing 6-foot-2, 170-pounds from a lean projectable build. On the mound there's clear signs for more to come. Mechanics are slightly choppy, coils up prior to driving towards home. Long clean arm-action on both back and front side, release from a high 3/4 slot, fastball jumps at 82-84 peaking 84 mph, arm-side tail. Curveball loose at times did show late 12/6 shape sitting 64-65. Very athletic arm that projects to throw harder. At the plate, fluid repeatable swing path, slightly uphill through contact, easy power projection with an 86 mph exit velocity. Defensively, stays behind the ball and gets his body through throws, fields with glove away from body, fast transfer, 83 mph arm strength. Solid all around player.
