Going forward, PBR VA/DC will post all commitments from the previous week on Fridays in this space, very much like Prep Baseball Report does nationally on Fridays with the Buzz. Make sure to let us know when you commit by quickly filling out our Commitment Questionnaire.

 

Stephen Gerade, RHP, T.C. Williams, 2017 (Marymount)
Gerade has a strong lower half to his frame and throws from a low three-quarters arm slot with a smooth drop and drive delivery. He has a short, loose, quick arm action that generates velocity with normal effort. His shoulders are closed and slightly downhill as he strides out on line and screws into a square landing before coming to an athletic finish. Gerade’s fastball has heavy run and he commanded it well to both sides of the plate, sitting 78-80 and touching 81 at the Fall Prospect Games in late October. His slider has late, power, 10/4 break and is thrown with very good armspeed, running 73-74. Gerade’s delivery creates a lot of deception and he generates a lot of weak ground balls.

 

Congrats Stephen!!
