Outfielders

Robby Merkov OF / Webster Schroeder, NY / 2019

5-foot-11 160 pound RHH with a whippy swing through the zone. Accurate arm from the outfield. Looking forward to seeing his progress since February.

 

 

 

 

Gavin Neuland OF / Oswego, NY / 2019

Lean frame with plenty of room for physical gains; short, compact stroke with results playing better then his recorded exit velocities. Fundamental approach in he outfield. 

 

 

 

 

Lucas Eoute OF / RHP / Lewiston-Porter, NY / 2020

Athletic build at 6-foot-2 185 pounds; battled through some tough conditions at our Campus Series - St. John Fisher. Works 75-77 MPH on the mound with a direct take back arm action with an over the top slot. 

 

 

 

 

Jake Humes LHP / OF / Batavia , NY / 2020

Impressed out scouts this summer to earn a write up in our Scout Blog back in June. Athletic 6-foot-3 195 pounds; tracks the ball well and showed the ability to stay inside the ball and find barrel. Looking forward to seeing him in a showcase setting. 

 

 

 

 

Shane Harisis OF / SS / Eastridge , NY / 2019

5-foot-10 155 pound right-handed hitter who can do a little bit of everything. Showed a strong arm from the outfield (82 MPH) in wet conditions back in August while working 77-78 MPH from the mound. Shows some zone acceleration through contact. 

 

 

 

 

Matthew McHale OF / RHP / Arkport , NY / 2020

Gritty outfielder who's shown a strong arm at past events. Aggressive swings that have produced a 91 MPH exit velocity in the past. Short stroke with line drive results

 

 

 

 

Jacob Wheeler OF / SS / Liverpool , NY / 2019

Scrappy, table setter type approach at the dish. Runs well out of the box and has shown plenty of defensive polish in the field. Will be a steal for the right program. 

 

 

 

 

Dominick Porto OF / RHP / Penfield, NY / 2021

5-foot-7 120 pound right-handed hitter with a short, flat barreled path to the ball. Attacks the ball aggressively from the outfield with a clean exchange and transfer.
