Most Viewed in NC - No. 10 Briggs McKenzie
Briggs McKenzie is the top ranked player in North Carolina's 2025 class. The top ranking was a result of a huge PBR Future Games where McKenzie produced one of the most talked about outings of the event, working for Team Carolina during the event's final game. The 6-foot-2, 175 pound lefty flooded the strike zone, attacking hitters with 3 pitches that received swing and miss in the zone and chase. With hundreds of college programs crowded around the LakePoint complex, many became seriously quiet as some got their first look at the lefty.
For those in the Carolinas, the outing was impressive but not completely unexpected. McKenzie was coming off a huge spring for Corinth Holders and was vaulting up recruiting boards and rankings list based on his spring outings. Shortly after the PBR Future Games, McKenzie had to work through a pile of coaches and programs that wanted to pitch their campus and program to him. As the fall approached, McKenzie committed to Louisiana State University. He will continue to be a high follow in the '25 class as he will probably draw considerable draft consideration as he continues to develop.
Scouting Notes -- 2022 PBR Future Games (AUG 2022)
Quite possibly the biggest buzz of the week belongs to the big lefty. The frame catches the eye at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, and the delivery is stable with solid direction working to an over-the-top release. The stuff was flat out electric. The fastball ranged 88-90, living in the bottom of the zone, and flashing the ability to pitch to both sides of the plate. While the arm speed was extremely quick, the fastball played up with 2300+rpm out of the hand. He paired the fastball with a late, sharp breaking ball at 76-77, 2600rpm. The two pitches consistently received swing and misses in the zone, plus plenty of late count chases. On top of his ability to attack hitters, McKenzie showed feel for controlling the run game, flashing an above average pick move and some feel for when runners may look to take a base.
