TOP CLASS OF 2013 PROSPECTS

1. Ryan Vargo, RHP, Clearview HS, Class of 2013 

6-foot-3, 173-pound right-handed pitching prospect with big, athletic frame. Throws from a high ¾ arm slot with quick arm action. Delivery requires some effort. Fastball sat 84-87 mph with some run to it (Showed 86-89 mph a couple weekends later at unaffiliated event). Curveball sat at 66-67 mph with late 11/5 break. Needs to continue working on consistency of command. Also displayed a 74 mph cutter with some slight bite to it. Changeup sits at 80 mph with straight action. With continued development of his off-speed pitches, Vargo could see his stock continuing to shoot up at this stage of the recruiting process.

6-foot-1, 180-pound prospect. Projects best as a pitcher. Shows quick, short arm action through high ¾ arm slot. Fastball is heavy at 83-85 mph. Uses an 81-83 mph cutter with good action. Changeup sits 74-76 mph with good arm side fade. Also shows a 75 mph knuckle ball with some tumble to it. Secondary pitches are good, but still needs effective breaking ball as an out pitch. In the outfield, he shows some athleticism. Registered a 7.25 60-yard dash. Uses quick arm action. Reached a top velocity of 84 mph. At the plate, he starts with a slightly open stance with a short stride. Tends to bar his arm in his load. Swing gets long.

5-foot-10, 185-pound prospect with solid, athletic build. Registered a 7.49 60-yard dash. Likely a third baseman or offensive second baseman at the next level.
