2022 RHP CJ Mangone (Aquinas Institute); moderate arm swing from a high 3/4 slot at 82-84 with true spin. Short action CB at 70 MPH only in advantage counts thus far. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/NmEDAQHqpZ

Traditional, old school table setter approach from 2023 MIF Jaden Madrid (Greece Athena). Has caught a ton of barrels the last few days with a compact, short stroke that covers the plate and has shown plenty of range in the middle of the diamond. @PBRNewYork pic.twitter.com/wwYaPGz4DJ

— PBR_NY_Scouting_Director (@PBR_NY_Carrier) July 17, 2021

Loved the mound presence from ‘22 Marcus Monroe (Ferris/ @PBRNewJersey). Quick worker on the hill, throws each pitch w/ conviction. Commands a FB/SL combo to both sides of the plate. Power slider at 73-75 tunnels well off the FB at 80-83. Durable 6-1, 215lbs frame. 

Monroe just getting loose here in his third inning of work, now popping multiple FBs at 84-85 and mixing in some cutters at 77-78, playing off that SL well.
