Greg Pickett



By John Cackowski
Director of Scouting

The PBR Colorado Staff is putting together a series of players to watch for 2015. These players are not ranked in any particular order. We will be adding a player or two a day over the next 2 months. The next player in the series is 2015 graduate Greg Pickett of Legend High School and Mississippi State commit. 

Pickett is starting to move up the charts in rankings across the country. The highly projectable big 6-4, 215 LB left handed hitter brings explosive bat speed through the zone, and that was evident in a home run he hit against Highlands Ranch last April which traveled over 450 ft. On the summer circuit playing for Chandler Baseball,  Pickett has been making a good name for himself with his explosive bat speed and strong arm. From the OF he has a plus arm over 90 MPH, and on the mound he can bring it to the upper 80s. Last spring Pickett hit .387 with 5 home runs. Expect Pickett to double those numbers in 2015.
