HIGH SCHOOL DRAFT 100 PROSPECTS
Jeremiah Jackson, SS, St. Lukes Episcopal HS, AL (Mississippi State)
Garrett Wade, LHP, Hartselle HS, AL (Auburn)
Cole Henry, RHP, Florence HS, AL (Louisiana State)
OTHERS TO WATCH: LHP Christian MacLeod (Hunstville HS, AL) stands at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and showed a consistent ability to pitch. He commands his fastball to both sides of the plate, touching 92-93 mph while sitting 88-91. He creates good arm-side run as well. His breaking ball may be his best pitch, as it shows tremendous depth with late action at 78-80. His changeup has really developed and is a weapon against right-handed hitters as it tumbles away from them. He is committed to Mississippi State. RHP Chase Wilkerson (Headland HS, AL), a Florida State recruit, has an athletic frame and short arm action. His fastball, which can sit around 90-92, has riding action. He also mixes in a slider at 76-77 and a changeup at 82.
