Our goal at Prep Baseball Report is to promote high school players, and give them the exposure they need to be able to play at the next level. With the 2020 high school season in limbo, we want to continue to be able to promote players, even when baseball is not being played. Starting today, we will be spotlighting several uncommitted prospects to help them get the exposure they need to play at the next level.

RHP Mitchell Heer (North Paulding, 2021) was easily one of the most competitive pitchers we saw this spring. We had the opportunity to see Heer throw multiple times this season, from the Georgia Dugout Club Tournament to the LaGrange Toyota Invitational. Heer put together some absolute gems against Tattnall Square, Thomasville, and most impressively, one of the top high school teams in the country, DeSoto Central (MS) and 3B Blaze Jordan. The athletically built 6-foot, 165-pound right-hander will not overpower you with his fastball, although he can reach the upper-80s with it. What he will do is dominate with an advanced changeup. The pitch has late action and consistently induces weak contact and swing and misses. A bulldog on the mound, Heer gets after it and backs down from no opponent. Facing DeSoto Central, he went 5.2 shutout innings, allowing two hits, three walks and striking out five. He did not have his best stuff, but he attacked a stacked lineup with a heavy dose of changeups and competed each and every time.
