Devon Nowells 3B / RHP / Longmont High, CO / 2021

Rankings StateRank: 30 / POS: 2

6-foot-3, 165 pounds. Uncommitted. This is the first time we got a chance to see Nowells. Athletic player (also plays basketball). Arm is short on the backside, and quick towards the plate. Sometimes he feels he has to rush, and that could be corrected if balance point gets to 90 degrees, but still is on time towards the plate. Does not need a lot of effort to generate velo. Creates deception by landing slightly closed towards plate. Fastball lived 81-82 consistently with more there. Curveball is 70-71 mph with 12-6 shape, and changeup is thrown at same arm speed as fastball at 73-74. Another projectable 2021 pitcher who has a lot of room to add velocity with current body frame

Caden Potter 3B / SS / Valor Christian, CO / 2021

Rankings StateRank: 33 / POS: 3

Nick Schumacher 3B / SS / Ralston valley, CO / 2021

Rankings StateRank: 43 / POS: 4
