WHITE TEAM SCOUTING REPORT

2013 RHP/OF Masashi Sakamoto (Dublin Jerome): Can’t miss athlete. Minor command issues but a live 83-85 mph fastball, touching 86. Sharp BB at many arm slots from 69-76. Showed athleticism in the field while also consistently reaching base with a wide base stance and above average hand at the plate.

2014 1B/OF Jarod Yoakam (Marysville): Solid Bat. Great approach at the plate combined with size and power makes Yoakam a top prospect. Continued to barrel baseballs all day while showing good plate discipline.

CRIMSON TEAM SCOUTING REPORT 

2013 LHP Daniel Sexton (Watkins Memorial HS): 80-82 mph fastball but showed plenty of room for increased velocity. Crafty lefty with very loose arm action makes Sexton a definite follow. CB 68-70 and CH 74.

2014 IF Ricky Silvestri (CHCA): Good approach at the plate with a powerful load and fluid actions. Seems to be a force at the plate and is still transitioning and trying to find a position in the field.

2013 LHP/1B Tommy Crowl (Summit Country Day) - Had a solid and quiet upright swing which resulted in barreled baseballs. Possible dual threat at mid level collegiate baseball. 77-81,68BB.

2014 RHP Jeremy Randolph (Miamisburg): Live arm with 83-86 FB that touched up to 88 mph. Also showed 73-75 BB. Shows solid command of the zone and used breaking ball to keep hitters off balance in clever spots.

Navy Team Pitching Reports

2013 RHP Alex Mezcua (Mason)- 75-76 FB,63-65 BB. Showed good command and mowed through hitters. Used 12-6 BB to fool many hitters.

2014 RHP Richard Nolde (Alter): 68-70 FB, 56-60 BB

2014 RHP Braydon Focht (Northmont): 79-81 FB , 71-74 BB

2015 LHP Brandon Veda (Fenwick): 68-71 FB, 60 BB

BLUE TEAM SCOUTING REPORT 

2014 OF/2B Sean Montgomery (Bishop Hartley): Solid scrappy player. Very impressive swings. Arguably the best approach all day with aggressive swings in hitter counts. Also showed the ability to track down balls in centerfield. Overall a very surprising player and a definite follow throughout the fall.

2013 1B Brock Frentzel (Gahanna Lincoln): Solid build with raw skills. Shows ability to create massive power; however inconsistency is currently his down side. Size and defense not being a liability make him an attractive power hitting left handed bat.

2013 RHP Alexander Staron (Athens): 73-75 FB, 65 BB
