Brendan Parks, LHP, North Atlanta (GA), 2020
10/20/19 - Uncommitted. One of the breakout stars of the PBR Fall Classic. Standing at 6-foot-2, 200-pounds, Parks has a strong, durable frame, a wide build with room to add strength throughout frame and firm up areas. Arm works loose and easy on the back-side out to a high ¾ slot. Drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square, finishes crossing over. Was dominant in his start against Allatoona. Fastball sat 86-88, touching 89 (2380-2460rpm), controlled the zone with, induced swing and misses with, blew it by hitters often. Mixed in a 12/6 curveball at 72-75 (2280-2325rpm), showed depth, maintained arm speed and slot creating deception. Kept hitters guessing.
(10/20/19 - PBR Fall Classic)
Caleb Jones, LHP, Cheatham County (TN), 2020
9/27/19 - Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 160-pound left-handed pitcher, broad shoulders on top of a lean frame, will add more weight as he continues to mature. Arm works clean and loose to a ¾ slot, shows some on the back-side, quick arm speed. Tall and fall delivery, keeps everything on line landing square and finishing athletically. Fastball sat 83-85, touched 86 early in his outting. Manipulated his breaking ball between 12/6 and 2/8, 71-73. Used a 12/6 more frequently against left-handed hitters and would go inside with a 2/8 to right-handed hitters.
