PLAYER SPOTLIGHT

Nick Hanson

6-foot-5, 205-pound right-handed pitcher. Highly projectable build. Fastball shows hard boring action with downhill plane. Short high ¾ action with arm speed. Good feel for zone with 3 pitches. Presently the top 2016 pitching prospect in the state. Will continue to mature and add strength. Feel for 3 pitches, present velocity, and ceiling to improve. University of Kentucky commit.

Michael Busch

High level ability with bat. Left-handed hitter with bat speed and good hand-eye coordination. Works middle of field with flashes of pop to pull side. Above average defender in middle infield. Sub 6.8 runner. Very good all-around player separates him from most players his age.

Caleb Malek

6-foot-2, 215-pound catcher/right-handed pitcher with a strong durable frame. Strength in swing with 89 mph exit velocity off tee.   Shows great rhythm and upper/lower half are well sequenced together. Arm is clean with good extension and finish. Has made huge strides since September 2014 with off-speed. Keeps secondary pitches in bottom of zone majority of time. Moderate effort on fastball. Easy to dream on him being low-mid 90’s power arm.

Isaac Collins

5-foot-10, 175-pound shortstop with raw athleticism and fast twitch actions. Ran a 6.72 60. Switch-hitter who shows ability to hit from both sides of plate. Has strength in swing from both sides with exit velocity of 90 mph. Performed well at PBR Futures Games. Gap to gap approach right-handed/ middle-pull left-handed. Shows quick feet and ability to move laterally. Glove works and arm is accurate with carry. High Follow Infielder in 2016 class.

Large frame with strength. Left-handed hitter with open stance to start. Pull side approach and power. Aggressive at plate. Looking to drive ball with authority. 2.05-2.15 pop times with accuracy to second base.
