Pennsylvania Class of 2019: Plenty of Talent Remains Uncommitted
November 14, 2018
The 2018 National Letter of Intent early signing period begins today and runs for the next week. While an abundance of seniors across the state will be making things official there are still plenty of uncommitted prospects available for college programs still having needs.
Following is a quick look at a handful of uncommitted prospects that have made an impression at a fall PBR event.

Ben Myers OF / RHP / Cumberland Valley, PA / 2019Rankings StateRank: 207 / POS: 33
9/15/18 - 6-foot-1, 165-pound uncommitted senior ran the top 60-yard dash of the day at 6.77. Previously ran a 6.62 at a PBR event in 2017. Left-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and utilizes a leg-hang stride to initiate his swing. Barrel path is flat, with some length in the zone leading to hard contact to all fields in batting practice. Registered a 93 mph bat exit velocity this summer at the Western PA Top Prospect Games. Athleticism and foot speed will allow coaches to play Myers all over the outfield at the next level. 87 mph arm strength transfers to the mound where he sat 80-83 during an inning of work in game action. |

He registered a bat exit velocity of 87 mph and blasted a long triple into the left centerfield gap during game play. On the mound, the right-hander works out of a high 3/4 arm slot. FB sat 78-81 while being intermittently cut to glove side. Curveball at 65-67 mph was not as tight on this day as previously seen while having 11/5 shape.
