Throughout the month we look to highlight some of the top uncommitted talent. Below we would like to showcase several of the top uncommitted class of 2015 pitchers from the Massachusetts area.
Gus Culpo, RHP, Worchester Academy, 2015
Visited: Pittsburgh University
Interest From: Marist, Northeastern, George Mason and Elon
Background: 6-foot-2 projectable frame. Most scouts use the terms, knees and elbows. Culpo has an above average fastball at 88-91 mph with his changeup being his second pitch while being in the process of improving his spin pitch. In time and with some development, he could be a power arm.
Peter Bovenzi, RHP, Bancroft High School, 2015
Background: 6-foot-3, 195-pound stock right-hander currently sitting 84-86 mph with the makings of a good spin pitch in the 70s. Bovenzi needs to continue to work on his development, but is one to watch this winter and spring.
Johnny Lamont, LHP, Groton High School, 2015
Background: 6-foot-3, 190-pound, big, physical lefty. Johnny is an imposing presence with room to grow. Lamont has shown the ability to pitch in the mid 80s with really good feel. His secondary pitches are a work in progress but if he puts the time in, they could develop very well.
Zane Byrne, RHP, Franklin High School, 6-foot-4,240-pounds
Austen Michel, RHP, Hamilton-Wen High School, 5-foot11, 200-pound
Matt Fogarty, LHP, Millis High School, 6-foot-3, 215-pound
Riley Sorenson, RHP, Sandwich High School, 6-foot-1, 180-pound
Alex Dihonis, RHP, Nobel and Greenough High School, 6-foot-5, 220-pound
