Memphis Summer ID: Pitcher Reports
July 24, 2024
COLLIERVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Memphis Summer ID was held on Tuesday, June 18th at Collierville High School. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during a bullpen setting. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the event. Below you will see the scouting reports on all pitchers from the Memphis Summer ID.

Delivery: Smooth and controlled notion through his windup, works with appearingly low effort as he goes down the mound.

Arm Action: RH. Arm shows a very smooth arm action with a fast over the top arm action.
FB: T81, 80-81 mph. His fastball displayed an elite vertical profile that creeped into the low to mid 20's at times and averaged nearly 19 inches of average IVB. Plays harder than it shows especialy up in the zone. Much more in the tank as he further develops. T1956, 1850 average rpm.
