Mississippi Scouting Director
The 2017 Prep Baseball Report Future Games has come and gone, as 3 uncommitted underclass prospects for the state of Mississippi descended onto Grand Park in Westfield, IN for the annual, prestigious event. Over 250 college coaches from across the country were on-hand to watch the top uncommitted prospects in the Prep Baseball Report coverage area compete over a 4-day span.
Over the course of the last few weeks, our scouting staff has compiled complete analysis of the 3 Mississippi prospects who represented the state on the national stage the Future Games created.
Today, our scouting staff wraps up the 2017 Future Games coverage with a final recap of each player's performance, including video from the weekend in early August.

Strong at balance position, working in-line and downhill with dominate front side, some effort and good finish to the plate. The baseball jumps out of his hand, sitting 88-92 mph with late life and deception to his fastball.

Slider was 77 mph with good spin.
