Sawyer Wirth, OF, East Lake, 2015

Last week Sawyer drove in 5 runs in East Lake’s 8-0 victory over Countryside. Going 2-4 at the plate with a double and a triple.

2/3/15 - Unsigned Senior. 6-foot-1, 170 pound outfielder with a loose lean athletic projectable body. Has a good approach with a loose bat and good hand eye. Makes a lot of contact. Will improve with added strength. Not a lot of power right now but has good hand eye. Good actions in OF with enough arm and good instincts. Ran a 4.2 to 1B. Can play at the college level. Was 1-3 with a line drive double to left center.

Brett Coffel, C, Lake Minneola, 2015

2/6/15 - Uncommitted Senior. 5-foot-10, 180 pound catcher with a stocky strong body. Short compact swing with a good path. Has quickness in hands. Bat will improve with added strength. Competes in the box. Makes a lot of contact. Solid defender with decent hands and a very good arm. Avg ML arm. Good release. Looks like he’s around a 2.0 to 2B. Blocks well. Hustles. Looks like he likes to play.

Christian James, RHP, East Lake, 2016

2/3 - Uncommitted Junior. 6-foot-4, 210 pound right hander with a tall lean projectable body. Short in back with some arm speed. Effort in delivery. Lands across his body. FB has sink with some tilt at 85-86 mph. CV has good ¾ rotation at 72-74 mph. Occasionally goes around it but throws it for strikes.

Garrison Bryant, RHP, Clearwater, 2016

2/4/15 - Uncommitted Junior. 6-foot-3, 185 pound right hander with a tall lean loose athletic projectable body with a young face. On the mound he had a loose easy working arm at a H3/4 slot. Delivery was in line and fluid. Gets over the front side fairly consistently and repeats his delivery. Throwing a lot of strikes. In his wind-up he has a high leg kick and turns in slightly but keeps his head on the target. FB has good down tilt at 83-86 MPH. CV was 68-70 MPH with an 11/5 break. It shows a little more depth the harder he throws it. He also has a good feel for his changeup at 76-77 MPH. Throws it with good arm speed and has some fade to it. Will be a future avg ML pitch. High ceiling athletic kid. More velocity will come. Competed very well. Against IMG he went four innings (three scoreless) and gave up three runs to a very deep lineup. Also is a highly recruited QB in football.
