Pair of PBR New Jersey Participants Commit to Seton Hall



Sean McGrath
Scouting Director, New Jersey

It has been just over two months since the 2015 New Jersey Underclass Games, which featured a ton of the most talented 2017-2019s in the Garden State. Most of these players have received a high level of interest since standing out at the event. More than ten prospects have verbally committed since their participation in the September 20th event.  RHP Sean Miller and 3B/RHP Casey Dana have both chosen to attend Seton Hall University, one of the top programs in the Northeast. Let’s take a look at the pair of prospects who will continue their academic and athletic careers for the Big East program.

Sean Miller, RHP, Pope John XXIII, 2017
+
Sean Miller is a 6-foot-3, 180 pound prospect from Pope John XXIII and Fielder’s Choice travel program. The right-hander is currently ranked #18 in New Jersey’s 2017 Rankings. Beyond the projectable frame, Miller has shown to have present “stuff”. He has a clean arm action from a ¾ arm slot that works well with this dynamic delivery. He possesses a mid-80s fastball and a potentially plus curveball that has been registered as high at 76 miles-per-hour. He also shows solid feel for a late fading changeup to add to his arsenal of pitches.

Casey Dana, 3B/RHP, Don Bosco Prep, 2017
+
Casey Dana comes from two high quality development programs in Don Bosco Prep and Wladyka Baseball. Dana, like Miller, is 6-foot-3 and projectable. The two-way prospect sits at #27 in the New Jersey 2017 Rankings. Dana hits from the right side and has a knack for finding the barrel. He has the ability to create lift and show power, particularly to his pull side. On the mound, Dana possesses a low effort delivery and a long, traditional arm action. He pitches in the mid-80s with good shape to the breaking ball. Dana should progress nicely with more time on the mound.
