Ohio Insider: 2017 Top Prospect Games Sneak Peek - Catchers
2018 Class
Zade Richardson, C, New Richmond, 2018
Scouting Report: Few, if any, have done more in 2017 to improve their stock in 2017 than Zade as he entered the new year unseen and unranked. Now he is regarded as one of the top prospects in Ohio’s 2018 with more upside than most. Richardson is the type of player you don’t want to take your eye off of because he could do something special at or behind the plate at any time. The measurables jump off the page as he recorded pop times of 1.89-1.92, ran a 6.83 60-yard dash, and was 93 mph off the tee. Tools stood out in game as well. Whether it was his towering double off the top of the left-center field wall, his lighting fast exchange skills, well-above average receiving/blocking skills, or the stolen bases, he continuously impressed throughout the day.
'18 Zade Richardson is even more impressive behind the plate in person. Transfer is lighting & arm carries. Consistently in 1.9s. 6.8 runner pic.twitter.com/Rq9afz8FVl
