Scouting Report

Physical: Lanky, athletic 6-foot 165-pounds - projection to add muscle

The Scoop: Appelman's fastball is primarily in the mid to upper 80s and his strike throwing ability, heavy sink, and ability to spin a breaking ball make him a guy to watch this spring.

The Comp: strong comparisons to his fellow Baseball Warehouse teammate and Rutgers commit, 2023 Zachary Konstantinovsky.

Scouting Report

Physical: Broad shouldered athletic 6-foot-1 170-pounds.

The Scoop: Christopher stood out as a top performer in last August's PRD Scout Day. Long, smooth arm action from a hight-3/4 slot. Repeatable delivery and can rip off a sharp, 1/7 breaker. Fastball sat 80-82 with some late life, breaker at 63-66. More in the tank for Christopher.

The Comp: 2022 LHP JT Kroner (Rutgers commit)

Scouting Report

Physical: Athletic 5-foot-11 145-pounds with wiry limbs and plenty of room to fill out.

The Scoop: Another top guy to come out of the PRD Scout Day in August, Levonas's fastball was consistently 81-83 (84) with some late life through the zone (2262 rpm). Flashed some feel for a slurvy curveball at 63-66 (-9 IVB, -11 HM).

The Comp: 2022 RHP Michael Gillen (Seton Hall commit)
