  • Gabe Jelley

    Zeigler-Royalton HS, Class of 2014, RHP
    Jelley hails from a small school in southern Illinois, but the 6-foot-3, 220-pound right-hander showed one of the biggest arms at the event. Mechanically sound with a clean, easy and balanced delivery, Jelley fired consistent fastballs at 87 mph, topping at 88, from a high-3/4 slot. Moreover, he pounded the strike zone with his three-pitch mix, though his secondary stuff still needs refinement. Nevertheless, he showed feel for everything. His changeup, in the 67-70 range, showed flashes of arm side sink. He also threw a slower 63-66 mph curveball. Certainly Jelley’s performance should attract plenty of colleges to Zeigler-Royalton this spring. GPS is recommended.
