Draft 14 - A Quick Look - RHP - Ryan Castellani - Brophy Prep (AZ)

 
    Ryan Castellani

7-2-13 - 23. Ryan Castellani- RHP, Brophy College Prep (AZ) HS http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/jeff-sullivans-top-100-2014-prospects/ 

7-24-13  -  Ryan Castellani, rhp, Brophy College Prep, Phoenix/Diamondbacks Elite Scout Team - With broad shoulders and lean legs, Castellani has a tall, athletic and evenly-proportioned 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame that offers projection. Using a full wind-up, Castellani gets downhill plane from his three-quarter arm slot. Over the last year, the UCLA commit has reduced the effort in his delivery and shortened his arm action, producing a loose, whippy arm. Castellani has hit 93 mph and sits 89-91 with his fastball. He has feel for a 78-82 mph changeup with tumble that has the makings of an average pitch and a mid-70s curveball. Castellani has an advanced feel for pitching. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/ 

7-25-13 – Top 30 High School Prospects For 2014 Draft - 30. Ryan Castellani, RHP, Brophy Prep HS (AZ) - 6'4/200, Draft Day Age: 18.18, UCLA commit - Quick Take: Castellani is a well-known prospect who was in the low 90's as a sophomore and is a long-limbed, projectable athlete with a good swing, though he's a much better prospect on the mound. He clearly isn't trying to light up radar guns and looks like he's playing catch at 89-91 mph with solid average stuff and above average command. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html

8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 28. Ryan Castellani, RHP, Brophy Prep HS (AZ) - The 6’-4”, 200-pound right-hander has an advanced feel for the mound and can dial his fastball up to 92 mph with late, downward life. He adds a mid-70s curve and a change-up that sits in the 79-83 mph range and both project to above-average pitches down the road. He has good command of his stuff and there is still room for projection due to his size and easy mechanics. Committed to UCLA. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99   

8-30-13 - Player:  Ryan Castellani   Primary Position:  RHP  Secondary Position(s):  OF  Height/Weight:  6’4/195  Bats/Throws:  R/R  Date of Birth:  4/1/1996  Home Town:  Phoenix. AZ  School:  Brophy Prep  Class of:  2014  - Committed To:  UCLA - Scouting Notes:   2013 Tournament of Stars Notes from Don Olsen  - Ryan has the ideal athletic frame with a projectable loose arm.  He could fill out into a 215-220 pound type in Carl Pavano type mold.  Good arm action, but tends to fall and collapse to 1B at times, leaving him riding high the release when he does not get the weight fully over.  Fastball has some life and hop on it, 90-91 (92) mph.  He shows a solid two way bite with the slider, 77-78 mph.  Ryan has a big sweeping curve with decent rotation, 75-77 mph.  Change was 79-80 mph, with nice depth and deception, little touch of hand side movement.  He shows pitchability and works off everything.  Fastball moves around and routinely pounds it in on the hands.  He never gets rattled and shows moxie with the ability to bear and grind out when needed.  Ryan shows projection and ability to show 4 potential offerings, rare combination. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/28/2014-mlb-draft-profile-ryan-catellani/
