Event: Preseason ID: Central (PA)

Date: February 11, 2023

Location: The Liberty Arena; Williamsport, PA

Satus: 65% Full

Roster

On deck preview

 

Brady Myers RHP / SS / Central Mountain, PA / 2024

What to expect:

RHP that was mid 80s last season, commands well in zone with both SL and CH. Rotates onto his front side into a bracing pattern causing good extension out front. 

What we'd like to see:

We would like to see added strength and explosiveness incorporated into his delivery. Looking for added velocity as well, off-speed pitches in return will start playing at a higher level.

Tommy Zimmerman 3B / RHP / Pine-Richland, PA / 2024

What to expect:

Tommy is a projectable 3B with the ability to move laterally and post a 86mph arm across the diamond. Expect a flat swing registering mid 90s EV. 

What we'd like to see:

What we hope to see is an even more powerful round of BP with more consistent contact to the gaps. Defensively a quicker arm path to release of the baseball.

Madden Weaver SS / RHP / Mifflin County, PA / 2026

What to expect

Still young, but expect a MIF that has active feet and sets himself up to make plays from different angles. 80mph arm across the infield. He has a repeatable delivery and has decent feel for a CB and a CH. In the box, expect LHH that is heavy pull-side with an uphill swing.

What we'd like to see:

We would like to see him utilize the entire field with a repeatable swing. Defensively maintain his active feet through the fielding process into his throwing motion. On the mound we would like to see added velocity as well as more depth on CB.

2022 Last Chance Open: East

Jake Tinnemeyer 3B / 1B / Mt. Lebanon, PA / 2024

What to expect:

Explosive round of BP 97exit velo, with a bat speed in the mid 70s via Blast Motion. Defensively works through the ball well with soft hands and a smooth transfer. 

What we'd like to see:

Getting the hands extended at point of contact more consistently, resulting is a more repeatable swing with consistent results. Defensively develop a stronger arm across the field.
