Lapp-Barger

8.16.17 - Lapp-Barger began the move to the mound last fall and has continuted to increase his stock since. The transition took some time as he became more comfortable, but you saw the naturalness in the switch that you don't always get when you see a position player make the move the mound. He kept a fluid, natural delivery that synced well with his loose arm action. Lapp-Barger climbed up to 87 this spring and has been even better this summer, culminating with a commitment to West Virginia. Lapp-Barger moved up 10 spots to No. 21.

2.12.17 - Lapp-Berger has an athletic, projectable 6-foot, 175-pound frame. Controlled compact delivery that creates momentum throughout. Clean, sound arm action with fast arm speed throwing out of a three-quarter release point. Shows lower half involvement with slight cross body at foot strike and an athletic square finish. Still has more in tank once lower half gets more consistent. His fastball is 84-86 with some heaviness and run. His slider is tight with late movement and depth at 73-76 mph. Still getting feel for a change up at 78-79 mph. Has some fade to the pitch. Very intriguing pitching prospect that is new to the position. Athleticism should help make the adjustment a quicker one.
