"We are very excited about the potential of our '20 class. It is our most athletic class in some time and we are anxious to get them in here and go to work!" - Mitch Hannahs (Head Coach, Indiana State)
The Sycamores landed two top 15 players in Indiana in outfielder Tyler Nelson (Chesterton HS) and right-handed pitcher Cole Gilley (Columbus East HS). As coach Hannahs mentioned above, this class is athletic. Nelson is the epitome of athletic at 6-foot, 170 pounds. He's ran a top 60 time at 6.40 and shows tons of twitch throughout his game. Gilley, a 6-foot-1, 205 pound righty who runs his fastball into the low 90's, is the ace of Columbus East's pitching staff in the spring and the starting quarterback for the Olympians in the fall. Last year as a Junior he helped lead Columbus East to a 4A State Runner-Up finish in baseball and led the Olympians to the Class 5A semi-state on the gridiron. Jackson Taylor (Yorktown HS) played for Team Indiana at the 2018 PBR Future Games along with Gilley and Nelson. Taylor is a 5-foot-10, 155 pound left-handed hitting middle-infielder with athletic defensive actions and speed (6.82-60). Outfielder Parker Stinson (Yorktown HS) is a 5-foot-11, 170 pound left-handed hitter with athleticism in the box and speed (6.98-60). Max Meyer (Floyd Central HS) has projectable athleticism at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds with arm strength (91 mph from the OF). Outfielder Daunte Majors (Peru HS) adds more speed to class with a top 60 at 6.58.
