Drakeford

Tusculum commit. 5-foot-11 175-pounds. Drakeford looks like he has worked hard since the fall. The fastball was up to 88 in the first inning. Very athletic arm with good life and run on the fastball. Stays down in the zone, and attacked with the FB early. Once he went through the line-up he started using the SL more and added on more strikeouts. He had 5 strikeouts in a row at one point. SL was 72-75, kept hitters guessing with it. Could bury it or flip it over for a strike when needed. Mixed in the change-up a few times at 77-78. Tusculum is getting a good one in Drakeford. 

Tusculum commit. 5-foot-11 175-pounds. A lot to like about Drakeford. Athletic frame that seems he can do everything well. Saw him go 6IP and swing it well at the plate in the semi-final game of the upper class division. On the mound he has an athletic delivery, and great body control. Looks comfortable from the wind-up and stretch, and uses the slide step a lot that shuts the run game down. FB was 83-84 with late life and good movement. He had a great SL at 70-72 that he used early in the count to get ahead. Pitched with competitiveness and emotion. At the plate he has a smooth swing with good timing and rhythm. Look forward to seeing Drakeford compete in a tough region at Harrison HS.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitting two-way prospect, strong lower half, good athlete. Quick, clean arm out to a ¾ slot, repeats. Drives down the mound with lower half, strides out towards the first base side, momentum carries him off the mound, finishes crossing over. Fastball sat 85-87 early on. Mixed in a slider at 72-74 with tight 11/5 shape.
