Quick Hit: Elite arm - into the low 90s. Clean, loose arm action with late life. Wipeout SL in upper 70s.
First Glimpse: March 2019 in scrimmage
Breakout Performance: March 2019 scrimmage
The Future: Still uncommitted, Mule has arguably the highest ceiling of anyone in this class and will certainly have his choice of colleges when it comes down to it. Expect Mule to be a name to watch in a few years for the MLB Draft if he keeps on the same trajectory.

Scouting Report
First Glimpse: 2019 Future Games Trials, February 2019
Breakout Performance: 2020 Future Games Trials
The Future: Recent Maryland commit, Stichweh possesses a heavy fastball with armside run and hard, late breaking offspeed pitches. Expect Stichweh to continue to make velocity jumps as he adds strength
First Glimpse: PBR New York event in winter, 2019
Breakout Performance: 2019 Future Games
The Future: There's a reason why professional scouts maintain that "bloodlines" are important, and with two high caliber Division I older brothers (LHP Cullen & 3B Casey), it's easy to see why Dana's surge was so quick in his sophomore year of high school. Dana is poised for a breakout spring/summer on a national scene.
