The following scouting report is from Littleton's April 12th start this spring: Athletic 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame with plenty of room for continued physical development. Showed an easy release fastball from high 3/4 slot, sitting in the 86-88 range in the first inning, working downhill with some run. Threw to both sides of the plate, pounding the corners. Innings two through five, he maintained an 85-86 fastball. During the second inning, with two on and two out, threw his first curve for a punch out, that showed 11/5 action. By inning three, he threw this pitch more often with more bite and depth. Mixed in a change throughout at 72-74. Arm speed stays the same for deception and shows the potential to tail and sink. For the game, he threw five shutout innings, only allowing 3 hits, with 2 walks and 8 Ks.
In the spring for the Coalers, Littleton went 7-3 with 69 strikeouts. The all-Interstate Eight pick finished with a 3.03 ERA in 60 innings pitched. At the plate, Littleton added 22 RBIs with 27 runs scored and belted four home runs. Plays travel baseball with Rhino Baseball Club.
The Prep Baseball Report Future Games is a one-of-a-kind event featuring the top 2016 prospects from across our 10 state coverage area. This year taking place at Grand Park in Westfield, IN from July 31-August 2, hundreds of scouts from across the country will fill the stands to watch some of the top uncommitted 2016 prospects across our coverage area.
Last year’s Illinois Class of 2015 Future Games Team has already seen thirteen Division 1 commitments from that roster. Over the next several weeks we will begin to unveil prospects who have been selected to participate in this year's event with a brief history and bio of the player and what we can expect from him at the PBR Future Games.
