Wyatt Cross
 

By Jeff Markle
Assistant Director of Scouting 

The PBR Colorado Staff is putting together a series of players to watch for 2015. These players are not ranked in any particular order. We will be adding a player or two a day over the next 2 months. The next player in the series is 2015 catcher Wyatt Cross from Legacy High School.

The 6-3 185lb North Carolina commit will once again be behind the dish for the Lightning from Legacy High School. Cross has been getting national attention for his abilities. Cross has been invited to participate in the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game 8-16-14 at Wrigley Field, and Cross recently participated in the USA Baseball Tournament of Stars event in Cary, N.C. Cross who has outstanding movement behind the plate and great arm (pop time 1.90-1.95) and will be asked to handle a pitching staff that lost ace Lucas Gilbreath.  At the plate Cross is an imposing left handed swinger with above average power to both gaps.  Cross will be a three-year starter this spring and will be the corner stone of a Lightning team competing in a tough Front Range League. We also look forward to see how far Cross can move up the MLB Draft Board in 2015.
