ONSL Futures League Scout Blog: March 20th
March 24, 2021
PBR of North Carolina will be following the Old North State League's (ONSL) Spring League throughout the next several weeks. The spring league was needed due to the schedule change for teams in the NCHSAA. Most teams were built to represent 1 to 2 area high school teams, giving their players a chance to get on the field prior to their delayed season.

Brunswick CC commit. Attacked hitters with his fastball at 85-86 mph topping at 88 mph (23-2400 rpms). Threw strikes with his fastball but lacked true command to either side of the plate. Fastball has occasional cut when going to his glove side. Breaking ball is sharp and tight creating swing and miss at 74-75 mph (2100rpms). Arm is quick and athleticism stands out on the mound. Also, barreled multiple balls on the day. Hands are quick with above average bat speed. Moves with ease in the outfield tracking fly balls with confidence.
