Underclass Games

6-foot-2, 175-pound right-handed two-way prospect, long, lean frame, room to add strength throughout. On the mound, arm works long with a stab on the back-side, accelerates quickly to an over-the-top slot. Tall and fall delivery, long strides down the mound, works on-line, lands open, finishes crossing over. Fastball sat 80-82, touching 83 with sink. Changeup, 70-71, sink. Curveball, 64-65, 11/5 shape. Offensively, wide setup, shifts weight from front to back on load as hands load with shift, short stride, good balance. Uses the entire field with an uphill barrel path, generates mostly line drive contact, at-times elevated the ball to the pull-side and drove it, 79 exit velocity off a tee. Ran a 7.65 laser-timed 60. Defensively, arm works long to a ¾ slot, 80 across the infield. Fields the ball out front with competent hands, clean footwork and transfers.

6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed two-way prospect, broad shoulders, room for additional strength. Offensively, open setup, toe-tap stride, hands load back, good balance. Feel for the barrel, strong hands/wrists through contact, uphill path through the zone, lets the barrel go, driving the ball with some force, 81 exit velocity off a tee. Defensively, arm works with some length to a ¾ slot, 83 across the infield. Fields position cleanly and with some fluid actions, solid glove-hand, feel around the first base. Ran an 8.39 laser-timed 60. On the mound, long, wing arm action, shows low on the back-side, accelerates quickly to a high ¾ slot. Drop and drive delivery, rides lower half down the mound, long stride, works on-line, lands square, finishes with a big leg sweep, crossing over. Fastball, mostly straight, sat 75-77, touched 78. Curveball, 11/5 shape, feel for, 65-67. Changeup, fade action, 73-75.

6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed pitcher, long, lanky frame. Arm works long and clean to a ¾ slot. Had one of the top pitching performances of the PBR Cup, coming in the underclass finals against Canes Southeast. Took a no-hitter all the way into the sixth inning, coming one out away before allowing his first hit. Fastball sat 74-77, mixed in a slider at 65-67, feel for both.
