Jay Prior
Center Grove HS, SS/RHP, Class of 2014 Jay Prior is a 6-foot-3 2014 SS/RHP from Center Grove. The first thing you notice about Prior is a strong athletic looking body. In the field, he shows athleticism with good rhythm. He projects as a third baseman in college. At the plate, Prior starts with an open setup, a slight bend, and shows good rhythm in his swing. Prior’s hands work well and creates good backspin. Prior has plus power and once he learns to keep his lower half under him expect his power numbers to go even higher. On the mound, Prior creates a lot of momentum with his delivery, has a high leg kick, and is at times inconsistent. His fastball sat 82-84, but was easy and projects to add velocity quickly this spring. His flashed a good 11-5 breaking ball that at times was out of the zone. His best pitch was his splitter. He demonstrated good arm speed with diving action into the righty’s foot.
