2-8-21 - Prospects Live  @ProspectsLive

 

Cincinnati LHP Evan Shawver is a favorite of our draft team. He's got a high-spin FB up to 97 showcasing big ride w/a flat VAA, exploding at the plate. Quite a data-darling. He also throws a good breaking ball and a firm CH. We've got him a day-one pick.

 

 

2-8-21 - Joe @JoeDoyleMiLB

 

If you're looking for a sleeper in the 2021 MLB Draft, Evan Shawver  may be your man. Up to 97 from the left side, comfortably 93-94 this summer. Low release, big ride, flat VAA. Needs to throw strikes. First round potential. We've mocked him to Tampa Bay at no. 33

 

Mack spin -

 

Too much talent in the first round to sneak Evan in.

 

I have him being picked in the second.

  

 

2-7-21 - Shooter Hunt  @ShooterHunt

 

Get used to hearing about Alabama recruit, LHP Brandon Clarke (VA):

 

6’4 215 w/ defined lower-half

 

Pumped 92-95 w/ sharp breaking ball up to 78. Lots to like about the upside & athleticism allows him to be dynamic down the mound..

 

Mack’s spin -

 

This is the first I have heard about Clarke.

 

Sounds worth keeping up with.

 

 

 2-7-21 - Patrick Ebert @PatrickEbert44

 

Luke Hayden was the most complete pitcher I saw today at the #Super60, Strong-bodied 6-1/210 RHP, 93-95 FB, sharp 80-81 SL, 83-86 CH and his 71-73 CB was a pleasant surprise, @IndianaBase will get a good one if they can get the hometown talent on campus

 

Mack’s spin -

 

Hayden really turned heads this summer at the Perfect Game National Showcase, Area Code Games and East Coast Pro Showcase.  

 

He looks to be a rising star in this draft.
