Pre Season All State Spotlight: Seth Tickel
February 6, 2024
Each year the month of February in North Carolina is a big one for baseball players. With the high school spring season coming, and the off-period of November and December, players have had some time to work on their strengths and improve their weaknesses. They have been in the weight room and in the cages. As we enter February, Prep Baseball begins its work to continue to identify and update our notes on prospects in North Carolina.
The Preseason All-State events have become spotlight events in the state. This year there are 3 opportunities for some of the best players in the state to show-off their off-season gains, while working out with other top talents. Prep Baseball will be in Greenville, NC on February 3rd, Maiden, NC on February 4th, and Kernersville, NC on February 10th. The Prep Baseball scouting staff is expecting to see 250 of the top players in North Carolina across these three events.
Below we profile a player that is scheduled to attend a Preseason All-State event.

Scouting Report
PBR Mid-Atlantic Summer Championships
Physical tools and athletic frame with advanced hit tool for his age. Attacks contact out front with a level path swing and shows doubles power. Solid defender at third with ability at his age level to play a solid short because of the physicality, but long term will probably slide to third. Has above average arm strength across the infield with accuracy.
On the Mound Tickel words 85-87 pounding the zone with late life. Tickel will change slots from time to time to a low 3/4 that creates a ton of arm side run still keeping the FB in the low 80's. Working from his normal slot, Tickel uses a change up with a plus arm action to create fade and deception. The breaking ball has 1/7 tilt with good late biting action working 68-72.
