Wow.. ‘22 C Owen McCarthy (West Chester Henderson) just POPPED during a loud BP session. 31 G’s of rotational acceleration & a peak of 92% on plane efficiency according to @Blast_Bsbl. Definite power right-handed bat to get on soon. #PAStateGames. pic.twitter.com/6pEePLIfTE

I’m all in on ‘22 OF/RHP Elijah Dunn (Norwin). One of the better power/speed combos in the class .. 96 mph bat-exit velo / 6.76 60-yard dash. Extremely ATH with a chance to fill out. Not much extra going on with a short stroke. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/EqgrIo9ztB

‘22 3B/RHP Jordan Oliver (Lancaster Catholic) w/ an interesting round of batting practice. Extends well through the hitting window w/ present juice to the pull-side. 94 mph bat-exit velocity & 77 mph peak bat speed.

6'8", 210-lb 2022 RHP Robby Porco (@CBSouthBaseball) definitely makes for a difficult AB. Up to 89 mph. Showed athleticism in his defensive workout & will be an interesting follow as he continues to develop. #PAStateGames @T_Wills1 @ShooterHunt @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/TIFsdBiDc6

All tooled up. Good to Ryan being able to translate his athleticism into live game results. Lots & lots of upside! https://t.co/z76EZ4YAMD

21 OF/RHP Jake Millan (North Pocono) is a legit switch-hitter in a 6’1, 200 lb frame. 100 mph bat-exit as a RHH & 95 mph from the left side. Fluid swing that should play in game, max distance of 365 feet in BP according to @Blast_Bsbl. A hitter to know. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/iVA23PNg3z

First CB from @TrackManBB. Absolute ? with plenty of ability to change tempos from multiple stack positions. Mixes in a slide step from the windup, and quick pitches at times. 6 & 1/2 feet of extension. Must follow with high projectablity. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/Mtga2BHwkA

— Dan Cevette (@DanCevette) June 17, 2020
That arm action WORKS. Fravel should be placed into the must follow tier moving forward. Quality ‘22 arm with room to get better. @ShooterHunt https://t.co/svJ9WysX3o

Another ? performance, ‘21 RHP/3B Ian Korn (York Suburban) up to 87 mph utilizing a thick lower half to generate impressive downhill direction.

Extremely intrigued by ‘23 SS/RHP Jake Dally (Nazareth). Lean & athletic, 5’10, 155 lb frame with some arm speed present, FB up to 83 mph playing down in the zone. Had an avg of 2300 ? on the CB, per @TrackManBB. Frame will fill out, a lot to like here. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/eXRhSHfIZr

‘21 LHP/1B Tyler Switalski (Waynesburg Area) w/ a standout round of batting practice. 102 mph bat-exit velocity and finished off round w/ back to back bombs. Projects better on the mound where the LHP will flirt w/ 90 mph and a sharp upper 60’s slurve w/ high spin. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/jixcA8BePg

‘22 LHP Dylan Brown (North Penn) exploded at #PAStateGames touching 87 mph (2200 ? / 17-17.5 vertical movement) three times in his 1st inning of work.

4 up 4 down for ‘21 LHP Tyler Switalski (Waynesburg Area). Missing barrels with a FB at 87 mph (2055 ?) and commanding a 70 mph SL with 1800 ? @TrackManBB. Athleticism is obvious in the arm action & pounds the zone with consistency. #PAStateGames. pic.twitter.com/NhLN5oBy3s
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) June 17, 2020
Liked the defensive actions out of ‘22 C Curtis Ball (@PBRWestVirginia, Caball Midland). Works hard for his pitchers behind the plate. Above average blocking skills w/ quality lateral movements. The receiving ability stands out with a quiet glove hand. #PAStateGames pic.twitter.com/8VWM8KmECQ
— Ted Williams (@T_Wills1) June 17, 2020
2021 Sean Matson (@seanmatson23) having a HUGE day today at the #PAStateGames.. up to 88 w/ the FB from a clean arm-action, also committed to Harvard today ? #BeSeen #pbrfamily @pbrpennsylvania pic.twitter.com/KZem8vHYDU

Clean, efficient actions. Easy pull side juice. Left yard multiple times in an impressive round of batting practice. https://t.co/mlCsJkIkJi

23.4 inch induced vertical movement for Czajkowski coupled w/ 2414 spin makes 83 mph FB appear in the mid to upper 80’s to hitters. Playing extremely well up in the zone. #PAStateGames https://t.co/Uz0wNSLLUM pic.twitter.com/BNBg8oOlmN
