Top Uncommitted Underclass Middle Infielders
Johnathon Mikosz, SS/RHP, Southington HS, 2017
Ranked: 13th in NE
Scouting Report: 6-foot-4, 182-pound long and athletic body, has serious room to put weight on. This right-handed hitter had a tee exit velocity of 89. He hits from an even base, his hands are a bit low and dives forward a little bit. He has pop in his hands, while spraying it to all parts of the field. His time down the line was 4.56 with room for improvement, as he physically matures, this should get better. At shortstop, his hands and feet work well together, he had a good flow through the baseball and showed the ability to make the slow roller pro move. His arm strength was 80 across the diamond with plus carry. Off the bump, his fastball was 80-84. He had a quick and clean arm, with serious arm-side sink. His curveball was thrown at 67, it’s more of a slurve. Changeup was 65 and he slows down on it, he needs to sell it with his whole body. At this point, looks to me as a legitimate 2-way guy.
