In New York's 2016 class we have seen 25 players throw a 2.0-flat or better through our events and scouted events. 14 of those 25 prospects are verbally committed to play baseball at the next-level, six of those 14 are headed to D1 programs. Take a look at the 2016 rankings in NY.
Here's a look at the Top Five Lowest Pop-Times In New York's 2016 Class.
1. Austin O'Shei
High School: Hamburg
State Rank: 66
Lowest Recorded Pop-Time: 1.81
Scouting Report
Preseason All-State (Feb 2015) O'Shei stands 5-foot-10, 154-pounds with a solid frame, athletic build. Behind the plate there was no one faster glove-to-hand-to-release than O'Shei. He showed consistently a 1.92 to second with one of our clocks getting him as low as an unreal 1.81. Regardless, his hands are lightning fast giving opposing runners almost no chance. He shows athletic blocking ability moving well side to side. At the plate he starts with his weight pushed back, hands back load up on the pitch. Barrel drops some on his path forward, plane is uphill with long extension out in front.
