2015 Draft Profile - LHP - Justin Hooper - De La Salle (CA) HS



August 2013 - 

Mack - Hooper was chosen as the 33rd pitcher in the Area Code games, sitting 88-92, and striking out three over two innings.

6-3-14

Mack - No one likes to start out the 'mock' season as the favorite player in any position, but, in the case of left-handed pitchers, it has to fall to De La Salle (CA) High School junior, 6-6, 220 pound Justin Hooper.

Arsenal includes: 90-93, 96 fastball , and a 74-76 curve (hard break and change-up are still developing). Most of the velocity on the fastball was added over this past season and is estimated to still have some projectablity on that pitch.

Hooper has a quick arm a very projectable body. 

Hopper did commit to UCLA in early May but it's hard to believe that he's spend one inning on that mound.

Areas of concern:  command Junior year stats so far:  35.1-IP, 48-K, 31-BB
