With the Summer season coming to an end and the 2016-2017 high school sports season as well as fall ball getting underway, we would like to take a look at some of the top uncommitted prospects at each position.
Today we are look at the top uncommitted senior sleeper prospects in the New England Region. We will look to create a few top uncommitted lists each week, as you can see by our 2017 Player Rankings there are numerous talented prospects available.
Connecticut Area
Name: Frank Longley
Position: 3B
Rank: 148th in New England's Class of 2017
Scouting Report: 5-foot-11, 195-pound, physical, strong frame. The hands and forearms are strong. A right-handed hitter, stance is open to even, hands are just above his shoulder, gets some separation with timing. The swing is level to up, with a two handed finish, has more of a pull swing. The tee exit velocity was 84, with more in there. In game swings were good, collected 2 doubles, beating the outfielders. Defensively, shows soft hands, moves well to the glove side. Showed good touch with the arm was clocked at 69 mph. Footwork and flow were good starting the double play. Times down the line were 4.89. Interesting kid, strong hands and has potential to swing it.
College Outlook: Shows the ability to swing the bat, gap to gap hitter. A move to first base could happen, the arm strength needs to improve, can swing it though.
