Uncommitted Spotlight: 3B Skyler Thellman
April 1, 2020
Over the past nine months or so we have has multiple looks at 3B/RHP Skyler Thellman (Lakeview Academy, 2021) from the 2019 Underclass Games to his time with the Georgia Jackets at LakePoint to Lakeview Academy this spring. One thing is evident with Thellman, he has continued to physically mature, adding another inch to his frame. He now stands a lean, lanky 6-foot-4, 190-pounds with plenty of room to fill out. Thellman has always had a good feel for the barrel and shown the ability to spray line drives around the park. Since our first look, he has really cleaned up his swing, lowering his hands and shortening up his load. Equipped with quick hands, this has allowed for him to gain more extension through the zone and drive the ball with even more force, especially to the pull-side. Thellman has the potential to be a real long ball threat with continued strides like these, and added strength to his projectable frame.

Scouting Report
10/01/19 - 6-foot-3 175 pounds. Thellman flat banged all weekend long, it didn’t matter the velocity or the type of arm he was facing, he just flat raked and was on base in 5 of 7 appearances alone on Sunday. He had two doubles, one in each gap to show off his true gap to gap pop. Thellman also showed a tremendous awareness for the strike zone drawing multiple walks on the day to have himself a day. Defensively he made a couple of really nice defensive plays including a backhand in the hole to nail a runner advancing to third on the groundball. Thellman left the scouts with a tremendous impression and there is a lot to like about the prospect.
5/28/19 - 6-foot-3, 175-pound, right-handed hitting two-way prospect, long frame with plenty of room to fill out. On the mound, arm works long, showing low on the back-side to a ¾ slot. Stretch-only, drop and drive delivery, works in-line, opens front-side, lands square, finishes upright. Fastball sat 80-81, topped out at 83, flashed run. Curveball, 11/5 shape, gradual break, 70-71. Changeup showed fade at 74. Ran a 7.66 laser-timed 60. Offensively, wide, open setup, short stride, hands rise on load, some barrel wrap, remains balanced. Gap-to-gap type hitter, barrel path produces loft, 80 mph exit velocity. Defensively, short arm action, ¾ slot, accurate, 82 across the infield. Fields the ball cleanly with a soft glove, flashed quick hands.
