Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons will be considered.
Team Ohio Future Games: Meet The Team - Yianni Skeriotis, RHP, 2019
Scouting Report
10/7/16
The 6-foot-2 right-hander out of Jackson HS had a very impressive performance on the mound, while pitching for Bo Jackson Elite in Ft. Meyers. Showed easy, clean arm action while sitting 84-87 mph with his fastball that showed heavy cut at times. Was consistently in the zone with his fastball and blew away Scorpion hitters for most of the day. His biggest improvement since we saw him when he represented Ohio at the PBR Future Games was his breaking ball. The pitch was noticeable sharper and he showed much improved feel for it. The tightness and depth of the pitch made it very hard for hitters to pick up, producing swing and misses out of the zone and also freezing batters for strikes. His fastball/curveball combination was enough to dominate opposing hitter but he also mixed in a changeup that he was able to locate in the zone. Definitely showed why he is regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in Ohio’s 2019 class.
6/6/16
6-foot-2, 168-pound projectable frame. Emerging as one of the top right-handed pitching prospects in the 2019 class. He has a quick tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. His frame and short arm action make it very hard for hitters to pick up the ball until it is out of his hand. This makes his 81-85 mph fastball appear even quicker. Has feel for both of his offspeed pitches with his curveball being slightly ahead of his changeup at this stage. Curveball has sharpness to it with some depth and an 11/5 shape at 71-73 mph. He is able to maintain fastball armspeed on his 76-77 mph changeup. Earned a Future Games invitation with his performance.
2/16/15
6-foot-2, 155-pound thin build with room to fill out. On the mound the young right handed prospect shows a lot of projectability. He shows smooth rhythm in his delivery. Lands online at foot strike and shows good direction to the plate. Throws from a high ¾ slot with quick arm speed. Fastball sat 81-83 mph. Curveball sat 70-71 mph with 11/5 tilt. Changeup sat 75-76 mph with near fastball arm speed.
