CLASS OF 2020

6-foot-2, 170-pound two-way prospect participated as a primary pitcher on this date. The righty sat 78-79 touching 80 mph from a high 3/4 arm slot during three innings of work. Allowed just two hits, one of the infield variety, while striking out three. Also commanded an above average curveball with 11/5 rotation at 69-71. Projectable frame and repeatable mechanics projects for additional velocity in coming years.
Quintin Reep, OF, Bridgeport HS (WV)

Went 2-for-6 in game action and showcased accurate 72 mph arm strength from the outfield during his defensive workout.
Jake Rongaus, 2B/SS, Ringgold HS (PA)
5-foot-10, 135-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance. Current strength leads to some barrel drag and length to swing. Went 1-for-2 with a walk in game action and ran a 7.46 60-yard dash. Displayed developing defensive skill set with 68 mph arm strength across the diamond. Long, lanky frame should continue to develop leading to significant advancement in all skill areas moving forward.
