Antwerp vs Fairview - 5/4/19
 |
Austin Lichty RHP / SS / Antwerp, OH / 2021Report: 6-foot, 140-pound righty started for the Archers and was dominant on the hill. Uptempo deliver that requires little effort. Shows a long, loose arm with the ball coming out of a high-3/4 slot. Shows a slight pause at the top of his chest high leg lift before getting into his drop and drive load. Good direction throughout delivery. Look for the velo to rise for the righty. Also can swing it well, while hitting in the two-hole. Leg kick as timing mechanism. Good athlete. One to keep an eye on through the spring/summer. Pitch Repertoire: Curveball 64-65 mph. 11/5 break with good movement. Has the makings of a solid breaking ball.
