PBR Alabama Staff

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months. 

Beginning on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Continuing the countdown, RHP Drake Meeks, a Southern Miss signee that attend Briarwood Christian comes in at No. 20 on this list.

 


Scouting Report

RHP Drake Meeks (Briarwood Christian, 2023) has created tons of buzz to start his junior season and showed that he was as advertised in his start on Monday night. The uncommitted right-hander has made a significant jump in terms of velocity over the past year after seeing him working in the mid-80's at LakePoint this past summer for Excel Baseball. Now more filled out & stronger, Meeks showed he has one of the best fastballs in his class working up to 93.7 mph in his first inning. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder pitched at 91-93.7 mph to start his outing, then settled into more 88-90 mph throughout the duration of his start. He showed average feel for his sharp slider at 77-79 mph with late bite that he threw in two-strike counts to try and get swing-and-miss. Meeks also flashed a low-80's changeup facing a heavy right-handed hitting lineup and showed the ability to land it in the zone at times. Although standing at 6-foot-4, he was fairly athletic down the mound and repeated his delivery well. He finished working into the 7th, but ultimately handed it to the bullpen to get the final out and finished earning the W going 6.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 BB & 5 K's.
