Progress Report: RHP Mason Kottmeyer
April 7, 2020
As we dig through the players and numbers from this past winter, we are taking a look at a "Progress Report" feature that highlights players that have shown significant improvement in their game; whether it's on the mechanical end, performance wise, physicality or in the measurable statistic department. The "Progress Report" can be a minor improvement in recent months or a substantial transformation over time. Today we take a look at:
Scouting Report
Crunching The Numbers
FB Velocity (Peak): 89 mph (Previous 87 mph)
FB Velocity (Range): 88-89 mph (Previous 83-85 mph)
What Did We See?
In the matter of four months, Kottmeyer, one of the top unsigned senior's on the board saw his velocity continue to rise. After sitting 83-85 mph in October, Kottmeyer added 15 pounds to his 6-foot-6 frame and his fastball ticked up to 88-89 mph this February. Kottmeyer also showed feel for a firmer curveball than we had seen in the past, sitting 72-74 mph. Given Kottmeyer's upward trajectory over the last few months and year, the sky is the limit for this talented unsigned senior.
Stay tuned over the next couple of months as we will continue to check-in on prospects throughout the state of Illinois who have made noticeable improvements to their games.
