Maybe the top overall mound performance of the day. Physical 2024 w/advanced stuff. Topped 85 with late life through the zone while showing sharp secondary. Huge ceiling here. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/bM60qaB2oS
‘22 RHP @GoetzLane

Interesting arm that just took the hill here at #BuckeyeElite
6-foot-3, long-levered frame with endless projection left on frame. Wouldn’t be hard to see that upper 70s FB add significant velo as he fills out. Also showed a quality, low 70s
Breaking ball. pic.twitter.com/d1ByZnfDJR

Obvious upside here. 6-foot-4, low 80s fastball, +avg downer CB, and playable CH. Stuff/ceiling translates to the next level. #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/iQNQmllRvv
2022 RHP Mike Olivieri

Another talented out of @JHSbaseball2014 . Athletic, efficient delivery. Arm works generating low 80s velocity. Secondary stuff was sharper and in the zone. #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/eQ2O5xggtu
2024 RHP @bradyrice_12
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Young, athletic looking arm. Low 80s fastball (T82) with significantly more to come. Changeup was advanced for class and breaking ball was solid as well. #BuckeyeElite #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/LI9krGU1qz
2022 RHP @BenjiKotzin

A guy we saw up to 87 this winter who turns in another quality performance at #BuckeyeElite
6-5, physical presence with feel for the zone. FB is heavy (T85) , SL is tight, and splitter has dive. Also a power bat ?#TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/Nk6zepOXdy
The young arms here at #BuckeyeEite have impressed so far.

The most recent is 2023 @maxwell_layne7
Good athlete w/a quick arm generating a top velocity of 83mph. Curveball was top secondary and changeup was also playable. #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/1eDRrAWgEd
2023 C @Tyler_Biskup
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
The young backstop was landing on balls in BP. Consistent upper 80s to low 90s EV (T97), while generating 70+mph batspeed @Blast_Bsbl . #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite
This one here left the yard in a hurry ? pic.twitter.com/iLtdVN3gjF
Another guy out of the catching group that took a quality round is 2024 @Nick_Walsh_7 here at #BuckeyeElite
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Compact stroke with advanced batspeed for class. Consistently backspun the ball from gap to gap. #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/uo8Px72LF2
2022 C @bachc03
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Continuously has shown well this summer. Big arm behind the dish with run producer traits in the box. #TopPerformer #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/Kc8CSvxUzg
Have a day @BenjiKotzin ‼️
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
The 6-foot-5, two-way power prospect starts off the day by running it into the mid 80s on the mound then puts on a show in BP. Reached triple digits EV while leaving the yard and threatening to do so several times. #BuckeyeElite #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/Mb2hpGiOX1
2022 RHP Cameron Mercer
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Nice follow arm who showed well here at #BuckeyeElite
Compact arm, high 70s to low 80s velo. Both CB/CH graded out as above average offering as well. #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/RFDygdz7c2
RHP @MattMoscarino
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
High follow 2023. Generates some of the top raw arm speed we’ve seen today. Combine that with the athleticism displayed and he’s a guy who could be a high velo arm down the road. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/WIHfpi3kFy
2023 RHP @OwenJoh86722799
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Really solid showing from the young right-hander. Low 80s fastball with one of the to change ups we’ve seen today. Also shows several physical indicators of more velo to come. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/I0tcDpR0Ox
2022 RHP @_jared_scott_
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Up to 85mph with more projection left as he fills out that athletic, 6-foot-1 frame. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/ldSf5CsSlg
2022 C Max Atkinson
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Very physical round, showing above average batspeed and 90+ EVs. Also looked the part defensively behind the dish in bullpens. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/clJVB6TwQw
2024 @dentobhs24
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Good looking athlete in ‘24 class. Smooth actions prior to launch before showing impressive hand speed through the zone. Consistently barrelled balls to the middle of the field in BP. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/Nb6brhqi5Z
2023 @evanyarmesch
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Well-rounded player who showed an above average skill set across the board and two-way capabilities. BP wise he has an efficient movement sequence that will only@become more dynamic with added strength. #BuckeyeElite #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/da5HbLeI5r
2022 OF @MasonStoldt
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Stood out in all phases. Above average ball skills w/a clean, loose arm that will carry to the next level. Athletic stroke at the plate with already 90+ jump off the barrel and more to come as he fills out. #BuckeyeElite #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/u7xG8VOZXV
2022 OF @RyanCramer04
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Some of the top raw horse power we saw positionally. Showed off a mid 80s arm from the OF and took a loud BP up to 97mph BP. Ball explodes off the bat. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/JbyE5ohOZw
2023 INF @MattMoscarino
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
One of the more athletic swings at #BuckeyeElite
Efficient, fast-twitch and more on the table as he adds strength with maturity. #TopPerformer pic.twitter.com/hCtZ4Gojd5
2022 OF @HaydenMacko
— Prep Baseball Report Ohio (@PrepBaseballOH) July 7, 2021
Another guy who impressed in several aspects of his game. Athletic mover in the OF w/an arm that was up to 85. Offensively, well +avg combo of strength, batspeed and barrel accuracy that led to consistent hard contact. #TopPerformer #BuckeyeElite pic.twitter.com/cMl7D6VLpS
