Scouting Report

Scouting Director Notes:
"The 6-foot-4, 188-pound southpaw prospect jumped up the board after a stand-out performance at Unsigned Senior Showcase in late May.  Tall, lanky projectable frame with plenty of room to add strength.  Smooth, athletic delivery with consistency.  Long, quick arm that works up to high 3/4 slot.  FB works 83-86 (Max Spin: 2111 rpm | Avg: 2008 rpm via Trackman) w/ slight sinking action and commands it well around the zone.  Best secondary is a hard SL at 77-79 w/ good 10/4 bite.  Had some feel for the pitch, spotting some down in the zone while showing ability to expand the zone for chase.  Mixed CH at 79-81 w/ some depth and command.  Solid third offering that Ferguson threw for strikes and kept down, chance to be a polished offering in future. The sink-FB/SL combo creates a challenging tunnel, especially for lefty bats, while a third offering to keep righties honest.  Ferguson finds himself rise as the top uncommitted lefty on the board as we approach 2021." -Colton Provey
