It was a historic preseason here in New York with our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff covering 700+ players at showcase events, all February long. The dust has settled and we are now ramping up our efforts in player rankings, scouting reports, and recap articles. While the outcome of the 2020 HS season is on hold, the Prep Baseball Report (NY) will continue to provide unrivaled coverage for the amateur baseball players in the Empire State.
As we continue our follow up of the Preseason Tour, we will be highlighting "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who recently stood-out at our preseason events. Stay tuned with us for the latest information on the 2020 spring season and beyond.

Quick Hit
"Firm glove work defensively, would like to see him work a little lower with the baseball while fielding. Arm action is very loose and looks to come up with ease. Watch over-striding, already in a wide stance so try no to end up on your front foot and lose power. Barrel whips through the zone and has pop to go with some quick hands. Pitching, looks comfortable, high tempo, and great usage of lower half to drive off of."
