Dan Cevette
President, New York

The 2017 ENY All-Star Games took place Sept. 17 at Marist College. Over 60 high-end prospects took the field showing off their skill-sets in front of our PBR NY scouting staff and nearly a dozen college coaches. As the smoke continues to clear, we are fast-at-work piecing together all the scouting data we collected more than three weeks prior. Today we highlight yet another player who's performance earns an extra look.

TOP PERFORMER Report

ENY ASG (Sept. 17, 2017) Yost stands a lean 5-foot-10, 150-pounds with signs of more weight gains to come. At the plate he uses a slightly open stance, loose hands. On the pitch he uses a small stride back to even, front hips start to drive forward before he loads his hands. Very short and compact, quick to the ball, barrel stays mostly level through contact with full extension. 83 mph exit velocity. Defensively he uses proper technique in his mechanics, mostly smooth with clean hands, at times fields the ball too deep in his stance, arm is easy in the upper 70's with accuracy to the bag, more velocity to come. Currently projects at 2B. On the mound is where he really caught our attention. Slim slender build with simple mechanics to his delivery, high knee lift with fluid pace. Long arm-action with hand dipping below belt-height, long front stride using hip separation, releases from a power 3/4 slot with a fastball peaking 81 mph with downhill depth. Shows confident with his curveball, throws in all counts with late 10/5 shape. Full player to keep an eye on over the next three years.
