Rory
Fox

6-foot-1, 175 pounds; a high-level athlete with a wiry/strong frame. Fox is arguably the top uncommitted prospect in the state. His easy, natural athleticism stands out first at shortstop, where he glides to his left and right with smooth actions on approach, fluidly funneling baseballs through exchanges; all-natural actions on the move, with the arm strength to thrive at the position. Left-handed hitter, simple, rhythmic approach, short path with bat speed that shoots line drives to all fields, with some favoritism to the left-center way. Also an intriguing pitching prospect, though he did not take to the mound this past weekend.

The righty was almost unhittable in his start in the afternoon session for 15U Stiks Black. He allowed 2 hits and an unearned run in the 11-2 win over ISA. He finished with 11 Ks in his 5 innings of work. He also broke the game open at the plate knocking a 3 RBI double to the right field wall. Fox finished 2-3 with a 2B and 3RBI. On Friday night, he continued his tear at the plate reaching base twice. The left handed hitter flashed hard pull side contact with an RBI single through the right side. Fox goes to work from a slightly open, tall stance and has a short to long through swing.

5-foot-11, 165 pound right-handed pitcher. Has solidified himself as one of the state’s top 2022 talents. Younger brother of left-handed pitcher and Duke commit Luke Fox (Catholic Memorial, 2020). Athletic frame with repeatable delivery. Arm action plays out of a short over the top window. Finishes his delivery by landing with his front foot square. Fastball had life and played 81-82 mph. Showed a 12/6 curveball with depth, 71-73 mph. Hit two-hole and played shortstop for STiKS Academy Black finishing 1-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI. A confident demeanor in the box, the 5-foot-11, 165-pound athletic left-handed hitter has a fluid path with rhythm through contact and present bat speed. He flew out deep to right in his first AB and drove a two-run single to right putting his team on the board early. Aggressive on the basepaths, looks to advance. Ranges both ways easy at short, sure hands and gets rid of the ball quickly. High follow 2022.
