SCOUT NOTES 

Logan Letney, RHP, Oak Ridge, 2019
TCU commit. Estimated 5-foot-10, 175-pound, athletic frame. The right-hander works from a high ¾ slot with a short, quick motion. His fastball was 86-88 mph early on in the game while it was 85-87 mph as he settled in during the latter half of the game. Had a walk and a couple of deep counts early, but found his rhythm and command of the fastball as the game went on. His curveball was 71-73 mph the entire game with 11-5 action. He was able to spin the curveball in the zone for strikes to get back into counts and spin it in the dirt for swing and misses for strikeouts.
