Notes

Comments

6/11/24
Michael Gurganus, Bear Grass Charter School (NC), 2025
Positional Profile: RHP/3B Pitching ahead of position play at this time. Good feel for pitching with a potential out pitch in his spin arsenal.
Body: 5-10, 200-pounds. Maturing frame. Straight line build. Length in the legs.
Delivery: 3B side. Preset pivot foot. Simple rocker. Stable through a leg lift to the lower chest. Level and on-line, swings front leg to an in-line foot-strike with the front toe open occasionally. Rotational lower half. Athletic finish.
Arm Action: RH. Medium arm action. Easy scap load. Simple high-3/4 release. Solid arm speed. Repeats the window of release on all pitches.
FB: T86, 83-85 mph. Can pitch with the fastball. Moved the ball in and out. Enough run to create occasional issues for hitters to find the barrel. T2269, 2140 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Darting horizontal action. 10/4 tilt with some depth. Good feel for commanding. Showed feel for landing to both sides of the plate and expanding to the glove side. Created discomfort for hitters. T2563, 2445 average rpm.
CH: 75-77 mph. Solid feel and arm speed. More fade than run. T2463, 1947 average rpm.
ATH: 7.44 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 26.80 max vertical.

Michael Gurganus, Bear Grass Charter School (NC), 2025
Positional Profile: RHP/3B Pitching ahead of position play at this time. Good feel for pitching with a potential out pitch in his spin arsenal.
Body: 5-10, 200-pounds. Maturing frame. Straight line build. Length in the legs.
Hit: SH. Tall, balanced, with feet underneath shoulders. Barrel laid off back shoulder. Hands just off the shoulder. Small hand load, lifting the barrel to a neutral postion , tipped back toward the pitcher. Small stride. Rotational upper and lower half, creating whip through the zone. Works for extenion. Balanced finish, climbing on top of his front side. Flat. Line drive approach. Works gap to gap with more strength to the pull side. 71.8 mph bat speed with 11 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 88.0 mph. 312' max distance. Solid bat speed. Ball jumped when on time and out front. Showed feel for manipulating hands to the ball. Significantly more strength to the pull side.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. Medium arm action out of the glove, naturally laoding the scapular. 3/4 to High-3/4 release with the hand finishing across the chest. Easy carry. Solid accuracy.
Defense: Feet work with limited unnecessary action. Average bend. Consistently caught the ball off his mid-line to inside left hip. Simple hands, funnels to mid-section. Athletic exchange. Some length in the release.
ATH: 7.44 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 26.80 max vertical.
