PBR at the Hank Scout Blog: Pitcher Only's and Catchers


PBR Alabama Staff

Today we begin to take an in depth look at each player present at the PBR at the Hank by checking in on the pitcher only's and catchers that took part in the event. Many of the position players also hopped on the mound and threw an inning during gameplay as their pitchiing analysis will be included in their positional analysis. Today we look at the 6 pitcher only's and 4 catchers that were at the event. 

 

Pitcher Only's

Cameron Keshock (2022, RHP/1B, Spanish Fort) 

6-foot-6, 215-pound mature frame. During the event, recorded a 60 time of 7.19. the right-handed hitter displayed an exit velocity of 101 mph, showing his strength and power ability. Advanced on the mound, using a loose arm action he showed electric arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Feel type pitcher who shows easy effort. Showed athletic balance point. Lands soft. Sat with his fastball at 84-86 mph with a max of 87 mph; had very consistent command and running action. Had glove side command and late action on his 12/6 curveball (72-74). His changeup (73-73) showed early action and arm side command. The frame and advanced pitchability show high projection for the recent Auburn commit. 

Tyler Wingard (2022, RHP/3B, Life Christian) 

6-foot-1, 205-pound solid frame. Above average on the mound, showed a consistent arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who shows some effort.

Threw a 11/5 curveball (73-74) with swing and miss action and very consistent control. The fastball is difficult for hitters to barrel as it shows heavy sink and plus action into RH hitters. really like the upside of this '22 RHP. 

Patrick Williamson (2023, RHP, McGill Toolen)

Throws a 12/6 curveball (68-70) that has control around the zone and late action. Young (2023) RHP that pounded the zone with both pitches and the fastball seemed to really take off late.

Showed typical LHP arm side action is an intriguing follow into next year's high school season.
