10-5-22 - Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Part 2 - https://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=21312&s=03 - 

Luke Dotson, LHP, Marietta, Ga.

Class of 2023 | PG Rank: 260

ECB/Padres Scout Team | College Commitment: Mississippi State 

Dotson is the highest ranked uncommitted left-handed pitcher in the state of Georgia. Tall high-waisted frame that has room to fill with a high front side delivery getting down the slope. He uses his high three-quarter arm slot to create angle and deception on his cutting fastball in the low-90s that he controls to both sides of the plate. A curveball with depth in the upper-70s and changeup around 80 mph round out his pitch package. A healthy Dotson will be a plus addition to any program in the country with a long list of suitors moving forward. 

*From the time of writing to the publication, Dotson has since verbally committed to Mississippi State

24. Yohandy Morales

Third Base, Miami 

Morales was a popular draft name in 2020 with multiple teams having thrown money his way during the draft. He turned them down and elected to head to Miami to further his development. Morales had a very noisy swing in high school but it's quieted down considerably. He's much more direct to the ball these days without the anxious hands and feet in his load. An aggressive hitter, Morales isn't looking to walk, but he does limit his strikeouts to a reasonably healthy degree. He generates big exit velos and finds a lot of barrels, though his misses are too often dribblers on the infield. That, however, should improve with time and reps. At his best, "YoYo" does a ton of damage to the baseball and projects as a third baseman with an average hit tool, above average power, a solid average runner and a reliable glove.

45 SS

Blake Wright

Clemson

Wright has been a consistent performer in the ACC and continued to impress scouts on the Cape with rangy, twitchy actions at the shortstop position and the ability to work a mature at-bat. Wright projects a solid average to potentially an above average hitter with fringe average, maybe a tick more, power. He's an average defensive shortstop now, though many expect he'll shift to second or third base as he adds weight and slows down a tick. He's got an average arm and can handle any of the three infield roles.

8. Rhett Lowder, RHP, Wake Forest 

After getting battered for a 6.12 ERA as a freshman, Lowder rebounded to go 11-3 with a 3.08 ERA and a 105/26 K/BB ratio in 99 1/3 innings, win Atlantic Coast Conference pitcher of the year and establish himself as the top arm on Team USA. His 92-94 mph fastball peaks at 97 mph, while both his mid-80s changeup and low-80s slider can be plus pitches.
