QUICK HITS

NorCal ProCase

Chamberlain showed off great composure at and behind the dish at the ProCase. He knocked two hits in two at-bats including a line drive double down the line. In his catching workout he had a pop time of 2.09 - 2.15 seconds and in BP Trackman picked up an extremely consistent exit velocity and hard hit percentage, 93.4 mph and 87% respectively. The LHH Texas commit shows just how consistent and valuable his bat can be in the future.

Barnes II showed off a mid-high 80s fastball, topping at 89 mph, with extreme arm side run. He paired this with a slider/curve with an average spin rate of 2652 rpms which topped the event. These two plus pitches is plenty of projectable in velocity and movement as he continues to grow into his 6'4 frame.

Medicoff smashed balls all over the yard during his BP session. The uncommitted first basemen posted multiple exit velo's over 100 and hit a ball as far as 393 feet. Medicoff ran a 6.94 second 60 and moves extremely well at first base.
Lee continues to show that he is one of the fastest players in his class and in the Bay Area, running a 6.46 second 60. He showed at the ProCase that he is more than just a runner, posting exit velocities consistently in the high 80s and low 90s and throwing 87 mph from the outfield.
Tenscher represents something we normally don't see in high school baseball, a sidearm pitcher. The unique movement and angle he brings to the table makes him incredibly exciting to watch. Coupled with the fact that he operated as a starter should have scouts seriously interested. The uncommitted Tenscher backed up the eye test with the numbers, topping at 86 mph on his fastball with control of a slider and changeup in the mid-to-high 70s. 

Handy possesses a little bit of everything, he ranked second among catchers at the ProCase in pop time and catcher velocity. With the bat he averaged 90.9 mph exit velo and sprayed balls all over the yard. He also ran a 6.87 second 60-yard dash. He's a full package behind the plate and looks poised to shine this summer and get serious D1 looks.

Solle may just stand at 5'11 but that doesn't stop him from reaching back and throwing absolute darts with two plus off-speed pitches. The velo on the FB was up to 90 with 2311 spin rate and his curveball was impossible to touch at 76 with 2887 spin rate. The changeup was also nasty and left hitters confused when the ball disappeared during their swing.

Adrian Boles Spotlight

Boles was another standout pitcher for the ProCase, topping at 91.5 on his fastball to lead the event with two other powerful pitches.
A physical anomaly, the 3-sport athlete shows incredible athleticism not only for someone his size (6'5, 225) but for the entire event. Wentworth ran a 6.60 second 60 and averaged a 94.6 mph exit velo. Although he didn't throw at the ProCase, he presents a crazy level of athleticism with multiple tools as a pitcher, hitter, and outfielder.

DeVine was one of many of the bats crushing balls during BP and his numbers pop. An average exit velo of 90.7 with both line drive and fly ball percentages being over 40%. In the outfield, DeVine chucked the event's highest OF velocity of 94 and ran a 6.54 60. An all around guy that can do anything and everything on the diamond.
