Most Viewed Profiles of 2022: No. 20 Ariston Veasey


Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months.

Starting on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at No. 20 in our countdown of the most viewed profiles of 2022 is Georgia commit C Ariston Veasey of Starr's Mill High School.

Scouting Report

2/01/22
Veasey showed it off behind the plate, clocking in at 83 out of the crouch, good for a 1.90-1.97 pop time. Veasey is ultra quick in everything he does behind the plate, from the transfer, to his footwork, to release, and he does it all while completing an accurate throw. A right-handed hitter, he has come into his own at the plate with an aggressive swing. Veasey posted some of the highest bat and hand speed average velocities at the event, 24.1/74.2.

12/16/20
Veasey is an elite defender behind the plate. He has a quick, whippy arm that works short to an over-the-top slot, His throws are accurate, placing them low and around the bag consistently, clocked at 77 out of the crouch. He posted the top pop time range at the Underclass Games with a 1.94-1.97. Despite being a wiry 5-foot-11, 160-pounds, he can still produce advanced bat speed, registering 79.80 mph via Blast.

6/02/20
Georgia commit. 5-foot-11, 160-pound right-handed hitting catcher and right-handed pitcher, lean, projectable build with plenty of time and room to continue physically maturing, ran a 7.82 laser-timed 60. An elite defensive catcher, short, loose arm, quick speed, throws are true and accurate down to second, keeps them on a low trajectory, 77 out of the crouch. Flexibility throughout lower half, quick on transfers and with footwork, pop times ranged 1.94-1.97. Offensively, open setup, hands drop and comes to a near arm bar on load, comes to a balanced position on stride. Whippy barrel works in a slightly uphill path, gap-to-gap approach, showed the ability to use the whole field with line drive contact, 85 exit velocity, much more to come as he physically fills out. On the mound, arm works quick with a short stab on the back-side to a ¾ slot. Tall and fall delivery, short at balance point, works on-line, lands square, finishes square to home. Fastball sat 77-79, touched 80, running action. Curveball, 12/6 shape, depth, 60-62.
