Pitcher Showcase and Analysis: Stats Posted

October 24, 2014

By Ryan Quigley
Illinois Scouting Director

The Prep Baseball Report Scouting staff hosted a Pitcher Showcase and Analysis on Tuesday October 21st at Fuel Sports in Shorewood, IL. The event saw fifteen pitchers from the 2015-2018 classes work directly with the PBR scouting staff in a hands-on, instructional bullpen setting. We will roll out scouting reports on each player once videos are edited in a few weeks, but today we’ll take a look at the radar gun readings, and also some impressions on the talent.

St. Joe Ogden’s Dalton Parker is already ranked No. 54 in the 2016 class, but he’s made strides streamlining his delivery, and sat more consistently in the 84-85 mph range than he did back in June. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound righthander has plenty of projection remaining thanks to his clean arm action and ideal pitcher's frame.

Minooka’s Brad Van Asdlen has a projectable frame and touched 83 mph, while also flashing a 70 mph splitter with downward action.

Jordan Petty (Highland, IN) is a smooth left-handed pitcher in the 2016 class who impressed with a feel of four pitches and low-80’s velocity. The athletic-framed lefty boasts smooth mechanics and could see a bump in velocity sometime in the near future.

Champaign Central’s Phillip Swartz is currently ranked No. 85 in Illinois’ 2016 class, and impressed with his 80-82 mph fastball and his 71-73 mph cutter/slider which is his go-to pitch. Swartz impressed this spring as one of the top pitchers on a 35-3 Champaign Central squad loaded with 2016 prospects.
