Scouting Report
Valentine is a medium framed right-hander from Gainesville High School where he leads the rotation. He has been a mainstay on the mound for the Ozone Warriors over summer taking on some of the states power programs, and shows extreme strike thrower qualities. He is athletic with a fast arm, and a repeatable delivery. Valentine can run his fastball up into the mid-80's with sink and the ability to gain more velocity with added strength and maturity. Valentine has quality feel for his change-up and will be a pitch he locates well at the next level. Valentine's breaking ball is more of change of pace than a true out-pitch, but is plenty to keep hitters off balance and compliments his fastball well. Valentine has the potential to be a quality competitor with some upside and offer immediate dependability as a strike thrower at the next level.
