Colorado Insider: Under the Radar 2015 MIF

John Cackowski
State Director, Colorado

Recently PBR Colorado put out its first 2015 and 2016 player rankings. With any list that has to deal with rankings there will always be discussion and opinion. In our 2015 list we ranked out to 35, and in our 2016 list we ranked out to 40. We will be expanding both of these lists to 50, 75, and 100 as we get a chance to see more players in events and games.  Below is a list of some 2015 middle infielders  who could move up in our rankings.

 Thomas Sautel: SS, Dakota Ridge
6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitting shortstop impressed with strong build and good approach at plate. Defensively, threw 78 mph across the diamond from short, showcasing good hands and accuracy while playing through the baseball. Consistently shows the ability to range in hole and use quick hands to throw runners out with a quick jump throw from deep in the hole.  Hits from a tall stance with minimal load, producing short uphill bat path with extension and 84 mph exit velocity off tee. In two other showcases he has produced 89 mph exit velocity.  Ball jumps off bat with gap to gap power with carry. Has shown well in both the Colorado Top Prospect Games and the Southern Prospect Games.
