Owen Scarborough: OF/RHP, (2024) out of Franklin High School, MA. is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound two-way prospect. During batting practice, Scarborough's best exit velocity was 92 MPH with a (68.4 mph bat speed average) and (21.9 mph hand speed average). He started in a wide, open stance with the hands set just off the back shoulder. A long stride starts a simple, flat swing with good extension. During his rounds, Scarborough displayed a quick bat and a gap to gap approach. From the outfield, he was up to 81 MPH while displaying consistent, smooth feet, a clean exchange, and sure hands. On the mound, Scarborough uses a long, over-the-top arm slot to produce a sinking fastball that sits 69-70 MPH(Max spin 1949; Avg 1886). The delivery is slow, easy and uses simple movements to create good direction. He separates well at the top, lands square and finishes over the front leg. Scarborough also featured a 12/6 curveball (64-65 MPH)(Max spin 1871; Avg 1836) and a sinking changeup (61-63 MPH).
