2018


Alex Bejarano, OF/2B, Silver Lake, 2018
Scouting Report: 5-foot-10, 140-pound utility prospect. In the outfield he tends to stop his feet fielding the ball instead of utilizing a run through. From a high-¾ slot he showed 66 mph velocity. In the field he needs to create more rhythm approaching the ball with 63 mph arm strength across the diamond. Right-handed hitter that starts slightly open and uses a big leg kick to load and get back to even. Hands start away from his body and his swing is a little mechanical with an slightly uphill swing. Registered top exit velocity of 73 mph and ran 8.0-60.

David Meech, OF/LHP, Douglas, 2018
Scouting Report: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds with a thin frame. The southpaw throws through a high-¾ slot with short arm action while displaying some effort in delivery. Consistently pounded the zone with his 73-75 mph fastball. Offspeed pitches still need some developing. 60-62 mph curveball features gradual 12/6 action. Arm speed tends to slow with his 65-66 mph changeup that features fading action at times. From the outfield he doesn’t use a crow hope and tends to open up on his throw.

Jack Steele, SS/RHP, Worcester Academy, 2018
Scouting Report: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds with an average frame. The right hander throws through a near low ¾ slot with short arm action. Arm slot generates some arm-side run with his 74-75 mph fastball. The 62-64 mph breaking ball features gradual breaking slurvy like action. Also mixed in a 68-70 mph changeup that will become more effective as he gains consistent command. From the infield he shows soft hands and fields the ball into his body. Throw from an easy, low-¾ slot with 70 mph velocity across the diamond. Right-handed hitter that starts open and stay slightly open. Tends to be a little stiff on front leg with a swing that gets in and out of the zone. Registered top exit velocity of 75 mph and ran 7.87-60.

Rich Joseph, OF/1B, St. Johns, 2018
