Scout Evaluation
Arav Prajapati, Holliston, 2025, MA
Position: RHP/OF
Body: 5-foot-8, 145-pound slim frame.
Pitching: Projectable. feel delivery, some effort. high ¾ arm angle, developing arm speed, loose arm action. Consistent balance point, falling off shoulders, lands open, a falling off finish.
FB: T75. 73-75 mph. (Max spin 1856; Avg 1727). Arm side accuracy, running action.
The 5-foot-5, 135 pound right-handed hitting outfielder had a tee exit velocity of 68 mph. He hits out of a wide, slightly open stance. From there, he uses a controlled leg kick to get the weight to the backside. The hands set off the back shoulder and get into a good hitting position. The bat path is direct and flat to contact. Extension is through contact and stays on plane. During BP he was able to showcase a consistent, fundamental and fluid swing.
Defensively in the outfield, he demonstrated the ability to control the feet as he approached the ball. The fielding position was balanced and athletic. The glove got into a good fielding position. The transfer to throw was correct and the arm showed at 67 mph.
On the mound, he worked primarily out of the stretch. The delivery is balanced and works down the mound in line. The arm circle is fluid and clean. He showed the ability to command his fastball at 62-64 mph. He also demonstrated feel for a breaking pitch that ranged 53-55 mph.
I like the skill set on display. The swing is fundamentally sound. He stays balanced and the bat head stays on plane. On the mound, there are signs of arm talent.
