Uncommitted. 5-9 155 lb. Whitley is quickly making a name for himself with another stellar performance with SEB Prime. Whitley possesses a 4 pitch mix that is among the top in his class. His fastball has some serious life to it. The curveball and slider play very well off the fastball. Whitley’s best pitch is his change up, he can throw it in any count, he can throw it to any spot. He can do what he wants to with that pitch. That 4 pitch mix makes it almost a guessing game for hitters at the plate. He is very proportionally built with more to come as he fills out his body even more. Whitley is definitely one to follow throughout the summer and going into his junior year of high school.
