Bryan Boully RHP / 3B / Strawberry Crest , FL / 2021Boully stood out during his outing. His 6-2 205 lb. frame screams pitcher as his build is long and thick with the ability to use his live arm and strong legs in sync. A high arm slot gives downhill action to an 82-84 mph fastball and comes back with a 78 mph changeup that at times gets some cut. If Boully can control the movement on that pitch, watch out. |

Quiet in the load and the front foot landing, Fanning's hands are just about the only parts of his body that move during his swing. He is one to watch in the future. On the mound, his fastball sat 79-81 and his changeup registered at 71-72. He is a low effort guy on the mound with a very relaxed delivery. |
