TOP OF THE CLASS
Ben Casparius, right-handed pitcher from Staples HS in Connecticut headlines the rankings. At 6-foot-2, 195-pounds he projects to continue to develop and currently his stuff is excellent. Pitches 87-90 with arm-side run and a plus hammer that he spins in the mid-70s. Throwing his breaking pitch at will is what separates him at this point.
