September 25, 2019
Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

Just five weeks have passed since the completion of the 2019 PBR Future Games and to date a total of 11 players that made up the 21 player Team Pennsylvania roster have announced a college commitment.

Over the coming weeks we will take a look at the remaining 10 prospects that participated in a Team PA uniform and recap their performance at the event.

Today we continue with a look at 2021 SS/3B Rafe Perich. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior switch-hitter showcased present power from both sides of the plate and an advanced ability to drive in runs during a solid performance at the PBR Future Games in August. Perich also showed a soft glove hand and 87 mph arm strength from the left side of the diamond.

Scouting Report

+ 2019 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

2/23/19

6-foot-3, 215-pound switch-hitter delivered a standout day. The left-handed hitter utilized a leg hang from a slightly-open stance to initiate his swing. He consistently drove the ball with backspin to the gap and registered an impressive 92 mph bat-exit-velocity. The righty uses the same load and step as his left-side. Although not as strong as his left, he still demonstrated the ability to find consistent barrels and show balance throughout his right-handed swing. Moved very well for his size during defensive evaluations using smooth, calculated steps and soft hands to gain momentum towards his target. Generated power with his strong lower-half registering throws of 87 mph across the infield. His 7.52 60-yard dash shows his natural feel for his frame. Right-handed pitcher pounded the zone with 81-84 mph fastballs featuring small arm-side-run from a balanced, high 3/4 arm-slot. Perich's 71-73 mph curveball showed short, slider like action with adequate arm-speed.
