Zach Burton, RHP, Daviess County HS, 2015
6-foot-4, 180-pound prospect with good projectability and upside, works through a high ¾ arm slot, fastball sat 84-86 in his first inning of work then dropped to 80-83 in the second, breaking ball varied between 72-76 mph with late bite, allowed one hit and struck out three of the ten batters he faced, all coming in his first inning of work.  Burton committed to Kentucky Wesleyan following the Top Prospect Games Event.

6-foot, 165-pound prospect with athletic frame, uses long arm action through an over the top arm slot, fastball is straight and sat 81-83 touching 84 once, he struggled to command his breaking ball which varied between 68-72 mph but threw his fastball for strikes while allowing no hits and striking out two of the five batters he faced in game action, should continue to develop breaking ball, established himself as a 2016 LHP to keep an eye on.

Nick Eubanks, 3B/RHP, Eastern HS, 2016
5-foot-11, 175-pound prospect works through a ¾ arm slot that produces some arm-side run and sink on his 80-82 mph fastball that touched 83, curveball showed 11/5 action at 66-68 mph, throws changeup with fastball arm speed at 74 mph that shows very good sink and fade, arm is quick, works both sides of the plate well, allowed no hits and struck out two of the five batters he faced, established himself as a 2016 pitcher to follow.

Drew Glass, RHP/1B, Pleasure Ridge Park HS, 2015
6-foot-5, 220-pound prospect uses long arm with some wrapping on the backside, works through a ¾ arm slot that produces good sink to his fastball, fastball sat 81-83 mph touching 84, showed the ability to throw his 71-72 mph curveball for strikes at the bottom of the zone that showed short downward action, has a tendency to slow arm on 67 mph changeup, secondary pitches should continue to develop, allowed no hits and struck out two of the five batters he faced, interesting prospect on the mound.

Alex Burke, RHP/SS, Eastern HS, 2015
5-foot-10, 165-pound prospect uses long arm action working through a high ¾ arm slot, fastball sat 81-83 mph touching 84 once, two-seam fastball shows late arm-side run, curveball showed some depth at 61-64 mph with 11/5 action, showed a 67 mph changeup that was down in the zone, struggled some with command but worked through it allowing just one hit to the 10 batters he faced with three strikeouts.

Phillip Archer, LHP/OF, Floyd Central HS (IN), 2016
6-foot-1, 190-pound prospect with athletic frame, uses long arm action working through a high ¾ arm a slot, fastball sat 78-81 mph touching 83 once with some cutting action, showed the ability to consistently throw his curveball for strikes at 62-66 mph with some depth and 1/7 action, showed at 62-64 mph changeup, pounds the strike zone with his three-pitch mix, allowed no hits and struck out three of the five batters he faced, definite follow in the 2016 class.

Kyle Kelsey, RHP, Madison Central HS, 2016
5-foot-11, 165-pound prospect uses long arm action working through a high ¾ arm slot, fastball was mainly straight at 78-79 mph, showed a 67-70 mph curveball that he tended to get around but it was solid when he stayed on top.  Kelsey’s changeup was the best of the two day event.  In fact, it rivals the best we have seen at any event.  He throws it with good arm action and it shows significant sink and fade at 70-71 mph, struck out five consecutive hitters in his second inning of work and threw the changeup at the bottom of the zone at will, good pitchablity, allowed two hits and struck out six of the 10 batters he faced.

6-foot-2, 180-pound prospect with athletic frame, works through a high ¾ arm slot, fastball shows slight arm-side run at 78-81 mph, 66-70 mph curveball is a solid pitch with tight spin and sharp 11/5 action, allowed three singles to the five batters he faced, consistently throws strikes, has potential for more velocity.

Johnny Eblin, RHP, Campbell County HS, 2015
6-foot-3, 165-pound prospect with lanky build and projectable frame, uses long arm action through a high ¾ arm slot, easy effort in delivery, fastball sat 77-79 mph touching 80 with good arm-side run, showed a 64 mph curveball with gradual 12/6 action and a 72 mph slider.  Eblin throws with minimal effort and would not be surprised to see more velocity to come, did not allow a hit and struck out two of the 10 batters he faced.
