Since the early summer, our boot-on-the-ground scouting team have seen 400+ players at showcase events, Limited Series Tournaments and the National Future Games. Already, 100's of players have caught the eyes of our professional scouting staff, all with dreams of playing baseball at the next-level. Over the winter PBR PA will be highlighting "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who really stood-out and offering "Quick-Hit" thoughts on the players.

CEVETTE'S QUICk HIT

CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Kunst was impressive back in OCT, showing off raw athleticism evidenced by his 7.06 60-yard time. He stands 6-foot-1, 170-pounds with a frame to dream on. His actions on the day overall were crude, with signs of next-level projection. The bat has plenty of barrel-speed, aggressive attacking the ball, his load is back and slightly long creating an arm-bar, but something he can correct this off-season with attention. Defensively he shows strong lateral movement, loose whippy arm-action with above average strength across the diamond. The really intriguing part about his game is from the bump. His length, athleticism, loose arm-action and 83 mph FB make him a no-doubt follow for any college program.

Preseason All-State Tour: Release expected next week. Five locations across the keystone state.
