A true freshman and Louisiana State recruit, Applebey impressed everyone in attendance at the PUMA Classic this fall with a three-up, three-down, two-punchout relief outing. His plus slider went under bats at 84-86 mph, while his fastball touched 96 and sat 94-95. The 6'7 righty also stood out at the 2021 Super 60, touching 93.6 mph, and at the July 2020 Midwest Scouts Association Showcase, where he bumped 91 and showed a 75-76 mph curveball. Overall, Applebey has demonstrated the type of steady, incremental progress scouts look for when identifying a potential early-round Draft pick.

Listed at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds, RHP Kaleb Applebey (Mt. Carmel, 2021; @WVCBASEBALL commit) has been dominant tonight. Sitting 89-92 mph that's exploding through the zone, earning late, ugly swings. Using a 78-80 mph SL with bite, feel.
