Scouting report from January's Underclass Invitational: Athletic, projectable 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame, long limbs, plenty of room to physically develop. High-level tool set with considerable upside. Offensively, hits from balanced setup, advanced rhythm and timing for age. Loose, athletic hands, level path, bat stays flat through zone for long time, bat speed present, creates barrel whip and gets extension after contact. Maintains balance throughout, quiet, repeatable swing; should acquire more power as he physically develops. Has potential to become high-level right-handed hitter. Defensively, shows true outfield actions, moves with fluidity and purpose, fields ball in rhythm, works downhill, athletic footwork. Clocked at 86 mph from outfield, ball stays on line, accurate. Ran a 7.28 60. Also showed potential on mound. Athletic arm, works free and easily, high-3/4 slot, repeats delivery, three-pitch command.  Fastball ranged between 80-81 out of windup; 78-79 from stretch, all strikes. More velocity should come. Curveball has potential to be very good pitch. Throws pitch with conviction, tight spin, sharp downward action, commands pitch for strikes in 68-70 range. Changeup ranged between 73-74 mph, strikes, little action
    

 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.
