The First Academy (FL) senior SS Cash Case went 6-for-7 with 2 home runs and 3 doubles
in a doubleheader on March 7th.
Perfect
Game: - Can really hit! ball flies off his barrel! HR at PG National
J.J. Schwarz homered to start off the ninth inning on Wednesday.
After hitting 18 homers his freshman year, Schwarz has struggled to
consistently tap into his power.
MLB
Draft: - Schwarz has developed significantly during his career with the Gators.
He has a .292 average with six home runs and 54 RBI along with a .451 slugging
percentage this season. Schwarz had improved quite a bit as a hitter in his
first two college seasons, and he has the tools to remain behind the plate at
the next level, although he will still need some improvement in this area.
North Davidson (NC) OF Austin Beck went 3-for-4 with a double and two home
runs tonight. Many scouting directors in attendance.
Baseball
Factory: - At the Burlington, NC Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout
on Saturday April 10, 2016, 2017 OF Austin Beck (a UNC commit from Arcadia, NC)
registered a 97 mph exit velocity, ran 6.62 in the 60 yard dash, and posted 91
mph raw velocity. BF-PocketRadar_4.10Beck’s 97 mph exit velocity was the
highest we saw at any of the five events held nationally across the weekend,
and places him just inside the top ten among 2017 graduates. His 91 mph raw
velocity enters him into a tie for fifth place, while his 6.62 60 yard dash
figures just inside the top 25
Steinbrenner HS (FL) RHP CJ Van Eyk sats 92-94 FB, 75-79 CB w/ depth, 81-82 CH
w/ 2 Ks thru 2 inn. of work.
Perfect
Game - Up to 92 mph at PG National with very good breaking ball
LHP Jacob Heatherly off to a fast start
for Cullman HS (ALA). Clean arm, FB 90-93. Excellent feel for CB w + depth
Fangraphs:
- Though a bit physically mature, Heatherly is a sturdily built 6-foot-3 with a
thick lower half and minimalist delivery. His velocity has been climbing all
summer and he topped out at 95 on Sunday in San Diego while sitting 91-93 with
sink. He has a four-pitch mix that includes a slider, curveball and changeup.
He has feel for locating the low-70s curveball, which is average, while the
upper-70s slider is frisbee-ish and below average but, again, there’s nascent
feel there. Though none of his secondaries are presently awe-inspiring,
strong-bodied lefties with heavy, plus fastballs don’t exactly grow on trees
and I think Heatherly merits sandwich-round consideration right now. If any of
his secondary pitches take a step forward next spring he could sneak into the
back of the first round.
