Baseball looked a lot different in California this past fall. Despite limited access to fields and COVID protocols that have changed the baseball landscape, baseball found a way. Prep Baseball Report - California was able to run events across the state allowing prep players a chance to showcase their skills. The SoCal I.D. Camp, Trosky RedBirds Scout Day and SoCal Birds Scout Day highlighted the 2021 uncommitted fall slate.
Prep Baseball Report scouting staff insights along with TrackMan and Blast Motion data produced a plethora of information helpful to understanding a players skill set. Looking back at these fall events and rereading the scout blogs have shined bright on thirteen uncommitted 2021 players.

High School: Orange LutheranState: CA

-
Height: 6-1Weight: 165lbs
- Bat/Throw: R/R
Scouting Report
Positional Profile: RHP/SS Rare to find a submarine pitcher with good spin rates at the high school level. Has a chance to be an effective reliever at the college level.
Body: 6-1, 165-pounds.
Delivery: Side arm/Submarine arm drives mechanics, short extension, head balance and landing are key to success.
Arm Action: RH. Low release with funk, arm worked consistently, tough matchup for RHH.
FB: T77, 74-76 mph. Fastball spin rate 2257 (max) and 2152 (avg) play up the low velocity. Fastball max spin is right at the MLB average showing this pitch has a chance at the next level.
SL: 68-70 mph. Frisbee slider, highly effective to RHH and LHH when located properly. Spin rate 2341 (max) - 2270 (avg), close to the MLB average as well. Effective breaking ball that is a different look and an out pitch.

Height: 5-9Weight: 180lbs

Scouting Report
Defense: Good prep-step, made the plays, limited laterally.
Arm: RH. INF - 68 mph. Arm lacks left-side ability, made throws from multiple angles, profiles at second base or left-field.
Hit: RHH. Athletic and bent hitting base, pre-pitch coil, extreme rotational acceleration results. Blast Motion scores of 51/64/80. Perfect score of 80 on rotation gives him arguably the highest power efficiency ceiling of any player at the ID camp following blast motion data.
Power: 93 mph exit velocity.
Run: 7.90 runner in the 60.

Scouting Report
Defense: Feel for the position, flashed some fancy glovework, solid backhand.
Arm: RH. INF - 80 mph. Quality arm that displayed some strength. Consistent release point and showed if off on backhand throws.
Hit: SH. Athletic base, no wasted movement, short swing, contact oriented approach. Blast Motion scores of 58/65/66. Showed that he can stay a switch hitter at the next level. Above-average connection score coupled with his above-average rotational acceleration score give him a high ceiling and projectable swing.
