Hudson Valley Battle: Day 2 Scout Blog

2024 LHP Connor Southwell (Suffern); easy effort Southpaw with no restrictions to the arm path. Starting to settle in mid game sitting 78-80 MPH and has shown the ability to spin the CB at 67-79 MPH. High upside. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/KzMczhBJJS

2024 C Gabe Cushner (Don Bosco Prep /@PBRNewJersey ) continues to show signs of being a high end defender. Soft receiver on the edges, consistent in the dirt, 2 CS through 5 inn this far and not afraid to be a “Field General.” pic.twitter.com/ST9nRGoR0i

2023 RHP/1B Nicholas Grippi (Tappan Zee); has had a solid afternoon at the plate with loud contact. On the bump the 6-foot-1 185 pounder filled the zone at 77-79 MPH w/ a short action at SL 67-69. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/4hJOeYQzkD

2021 RHP Matthew Jung (Maple Hill) comes out early with the SL working. Had a brief outing yesterday working 81-83, T 84 MPH. Commanding early on at 80-81 this afternoon. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/uuUCcJxklA

2021 RHP Brandon Scalisi (Clarkstown North) works with an up tempo pace while mixing some hesitations/quick pitches. Varies sets/holds from stretch. FB holds carry at 82-83, T 84 and commands 68-70 MPH CB. Feel for the game. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/1i2tBMrMb4

2021 LHP/1B & Lafayette commit Chase Barley (Clarkstown North) follows up his effort on the mound yesterday with a squared up oppo single here. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/UANA61FqGh

2021 Will King (IMG) offers the full compliment behind the dish. Gets on a high SL for a HR in his 2nd AB while working well in the dirt & absorbing strikes on the edges. Above avg. arm strength on display on the lone unsuccessful SB attempt thus far. @PBRFlorida @DougFreemanPBR pic.twitter.com/SnYTouwLMN

2021 MIF Tommy Kreider (Clarkstown South) has been a pesky at bat all afternoon. Covers the plate and can waist pitches/hit deep in the count. Prototypical table setter approach. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/WcswTTKEgY

2021 RHP Nick Murphy (Clarkstown South) on in relief, racked up a big punchout in the 5th and mixes in a full layout on an attempted bunt that doubles up the runner to end the 6th. Worked 82-84 and dropped in a 64-65 MPH CB. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/0OIADDFTON

2024 Nate Greene (Abbott Tech) packs some punch into his physical 6-2 frame. A simple timing mechanism allows him to get the barrel out and rip this double to CF. pic.twitter.com/GdIGCtAUoP

2022 P Nate Rodriguez (Saratoga Springs) getting the swinging strikeout on a FB away. The 6-2, 220 pound righty has flashed 80 on the gun while holding 76-79 with his FB. Also shows a quality SL at 69-71 and a CB at 62-64. pic.twitter.com/Nuf6170rnL

2021 SS/3B Eli Olguin (Rye) balanced lower half with quiet hands; direct path to the ball with slight uphill finish on his second line drive of the day. pic.twitter.com/mtgLw4xeAP

2022 LHP Jake Lanzer (NFA)@StJohnsBaseball commit is working up tempo and locating a 3 pitch mix(FB 81-83, CB 67-68, CH 77). 6 K's through 2 innings. pic.twitter.com/Uz8bNLtxm6

2022 RHP Adam Carlson (Catskill) long, wiry frame at 6-foot-3, 150 lbs. Easy effort delivery with a long whippy arm action to a clean 3/4 release. FB sat 82-85 T 86 with arm side run and life through the zone. Breaking ball has sharp 2-plane action at 67-71. pic.twitter.com/Im0B5MJIoW

2022 Zander Teator (Saratoga Springs) has impressed on both sides of the ball today. On the bump, he’s been sitting 78-81 with a quality, short breaking SL that he snaps in at 68-70. Plus feel for his mechanics as he’s able to speed up or slow down to mess with timing of hitters. pic.twitter.com/hBJjdYCouo

2024 RHP Logan Pulitano (Arlington) Physical build at 5-foot-9, 180 pounds. Fundamental, repeatable delivery. Pounds the zone with the FB and has a feel for breaking ball. Has 2 line drives on the day including a RBI double. pic.twitter.com/NcZUJyw0Lq
