Physical 6'6" 240lb arm with a very high ceiling. Was running FB at 85-87; down hill tilt present with an OTT look.

6'2" 185lbs. Potential power arm available here in Kane. Whippy arm late that got the FB up to 88. Must follow for schools in the area as he heads into his Junior year.

6'1" 190lbs. Really easy effort pen from the southpaw; filled it up too. Picks up some momentum DH and offered up mid 8s from a lower slot.

5'10" 175lbs. Moves downslope with some speed; bit of unlocked velo mechanically, but already working in the upper 8s. A polished Tierno could draw a Kazmir player comparison in time.

6'2" 205lb southpaw ran it up to 86 on the FB; above average spin above 2200 RPMs that rode well through the zone. Dual sport guy and great student.

Funky medium frame arm that gets whippy action at times. FB flirted with the upper 8s. Ryan also spun a solid BB for strikes up to 76 that was tracked at ~2350 RPMs.

Long and lanky 6'5" 185lb build that gets a ton of extension and above average spin on the low to mid 8s FB at ~2450 RPMs. Easy 90s arm with development.

6'2" 193lbs projects. Already topping 86 on the heater with an overall easy effort into ball release. Starter pitcher body and high college follow. Great student.

Here's another projectable arm in the 5'11" 140lb frame Malek. Already spinning FB well in the 2200s and working low 80s. Be on the lookout for a velo surge from Malek sometime within the next couple of years.
