Fastball sits 83-84, topping 87 with good hidden late action. Curveball is above average at 74-76 with hard, late 10/5 shape. Cerebral pitcher who is still uncommitted – but is a no-doubter at the next-level.

Fastball sat 81-84, touched 87 four times just this past week at our WNY open event, fastball has some late depth and action, command is plus. Curveball at times is tight and sweeping at 70-73 mph. Next-level arm that is going to keep getting better.

2016 New York Games



Prep Baseball Report New York is pleased to announce the 2016 New York Games will take place on June 27 - 29 in Rochester NY. The 2016 New York Games is expected to be the most recruited and scouted event of the summer.

Scouts from three MLB franchises attended the 2015 games along with coaches from more than 70 colleges including Division I schools such as Bryant, St. John’s, St. Bonaventure, Cornell, Villanonva, Niagara, Iona, Radford, Campbell, Buffalo, Kent State, North Carolina Central, Boston College and Monmouth just to name a few.

More than 40 of last year’s participants registered 60 times under 7.0.  49 players delivered exit velocities of 85 MPH or better. 10 catchers notched pop times south of 2.0. 3B Frankie Pizzo (Shenendehowa HS, 2016) topped 18 infielders who threw north of 80 registering 89 MPH across the diamond while 20 players threw 80 or better from the outfield.

The 2015 games brought together New York’s top talent from Long Island to Buffalo and everywhere in between.
