6/25/13: Unsigned RHP from Center Grove HS.  The 6-foot-3, 220 pound senior participated in the Top Prospect Games at I.U. this past June and is ranked No. 35 in the 2014 class. 

At the Top Prospect Games he sat 83-84 on the mound with a heavy fastball.  He creates a lot of momentum with his delivery and uses a high leg kick.  His curveball shows some depth at 67-69 mph and can be thrown for a strike.

2/25/12: Jay Prior is a 6-foot-3 2014 SS/RHP from Center Grove. The first thing you notice about Prior is a strong athletic looking body. In the field, he shows athleticism with good rhythm. He projects as a third baseman in college.  At the plate, Prior starts with an open setup, a slight bend, and shows good rhythm in his swing. Prior’s hands work well and creates good backspin. Prior has plus power and once he learns to keep his lower half under him expect his power numbers to go even higher. On the mound, Prior creates a lot of momentum with his delivery, has a high leg kick, and is at times inconsistent. His fastball sat 82-84, but was easy and projects to add velocity quickly this spring. His flashed a good 11-5 breaking ball that at times was out of the zone. His best pitch was his splitter. He demonstrated good arm speed with diving action into the righty’s foot.  Once Prior learns to repeat his delivery, he projects as a good two way guy.
Splitter: 70-73
