Merritt Island H.S. (FL) C/P (who I still believe will be
drafted as one of the top catcher prospects), Mason
Denaburg, struck out 10 TNXL Academy batters, in four innings this past
Thursday night. It included the last four batters he faced. 93-96 in the 1st…
77-80 CB.
PG - Ethan Hankins, RHP, Forsyth Central (Ga.) - In
perhaps the most heavily scouted game of this young season, the No. 1-ranked
prep prospect on the Perfect Game Top 250 Draft Prospects, Ethan Hankins, was wildly impressive in his first
start of the season. The 6-foot-6 Hankins is the picture of projection even
though he already features a fastball into the mid-90s. Against Buford for his
first start, the fastball worked in the 92-95 mph range early on and sat
comfortably in the 90-93 range throughout. Hankins has easy plus arm speed with
incredibly smooth and effortless mechanics that reflect his transition to a
professional starter as the next logical step. The life and command of the
fastball was exceptional as the Vanderbilt commit showed consistent plus
sinking life and could command to either side of the plate with ease, as
Hankins only had one three-ball count all night and tossed three no-hit
innings. Toward the end of last summer Hankins' breaking ball was getting
evaluated as a 60 grade pitch by some and he used the curveball sparingly in
his opening start. The pitch didn't live up to a plus rating, but he tossed a
couple for strikes just to show it as he needed only the fastball to blow away
the competition. Every Hankins start is sure to be a frenzy all spring, and if
game one was any indication the attendance is going to be warranted with an
outstanding performance.
