Eric Illar, St. Marys HS, Class of 2019

On the mound, a RHP who works the zone with three pitches. The delivery is simple, is balanced throughout,

 repeats it for the most part. The hands start at his waist and work up with his controlled, high leg raise. The separation is on time, front shoulder is strong and stays in line with target.   The arm action is longer on the back side, works out of a ¾ slot. The fastball was clocked at 81-82 mph, and was up to 83 mph with good action to the arm side.

Braydon McClung, Logan HS, Class of 2020

McClung threw out of a high 3/4 delivery. Mechanically sound with a repeatable motion. His FB sat 79-80 mph with a little movement. CB at 65-66 mph was inconsistent but at best demonstrated late break and moderate depth with 11-5 shape. CH at 71 mph was thrown with good sell and consistent arm side fade/ sinking action.

On the mound, Smith displayed a repeatable delivery out of the 3/4 arm slot. Smith's FB sat 79-80 mph with life. Smith's CH sat 67-69 and was deceptive at the plate. Overall, Smith is one of the best 2019's that are still available in West Virginia.

Casey Smith, University HS, Class of 2021

On the mound, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound righty displays a tight to his body leg kick with midsection turn at the top of his delivery. Smith continues his delivery and releases out of a low-mid 3/4 slot that provides deception at the plate. His FB sat 78-79 with arm side run. Smith's CB sat 66-67 mph and showed sweeping action. Smith's CH is thrown out of the same slot and arm speed, making it a deceptive weapon. Smith will be arm to follow in the 2021 Class in West Virginia. 

Evan Smith, University HS, Class of 2021

On the mound, Smith, identical twins with his brother Casey, hides the ball extremely well out of a low-mid 3/4 slot. Smith's FB sat 78-79 mph with arm side run at the plate. His CB sat 68-70 mph and CH sat 73-74 mph. Smith throws all three pitches out of the same arm slot, which will cause some deception to hitters.

Samuel Romano, Notre Dame HS, Class of 2020

Romano sat 77-78 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm motion. Fastball showed good action while his Curveball at 66-68 displayed slider break. Romano's delivery is compact, and finishes in line with his target. Would benefit from developing a third pitch.

Jack Bifano, Bridgeport HS, Class of 2021

On the mound, Bifano uses his 6'4 frame to generate good momentum and tilt towards his target. He throws out of a high 3/4 arm slot and does a good job getting on top of his pitches. His FB sat 76-77 mph, along with a 68 mph CH and 63 mph CB. Overall, Bifano is a good athlete and is a player to keep an eye on in the 2021 Class.

With his sound mechanics, Petty will be a arm to follow in the 2021 Class.

Dustin Corley, Parkersburg South HS, Class of 2021

On the mound, Corley throws out of a high 3/4 arm slot and slightly across his body. He demonstrates good mechanics and form in his delivery to the plate. His FB sat 73-75 mph with good action low in the strikezone. He also displayed a solid 11/5 CB at 68 mph. 

Jordan Mize, Greenbrier East HS, Class of 2021

On the mound, Mize's FB sat 71-72 with some late run at the plate. Pitching motion is long and exaggerated, but does have late life on all of his pitches. Mize recorded his CH at 61-62 mph and his CB at 61-62 mph. Mize will be an intriguing follow in the 2021 Class.
