PBR OK strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.  

This fall, PBR OK will continue highlighting some of the top ranked and uncommitted players in the 2019 class as they prepare to enter their senior seasons. Today, we look at a long, lean, and projectable 3B with a big arm across the diamond, James Dunlap (Bishop Kelley).

Scouting Report

5-21-17

A 6-foot-1, 163-pound proportional frame. Dunlap is currently a skilled two-way player that may have a slightly higher ceiling on the mound. The right-hander pitches with a simple, average tempo, repeatable delivery. Arm action is clean and consistent from an over the top slot with some looseness. Fastball keeps its plane at 81-83 mph, controlled in the zone. Curveball shows 12/6 shape with gradual break, 61-62. Changeup sits 71-72 with slight fade. Slider is still developing.  Offensively, the right-handed hitter uses an upright, slightly back-leg heave set-up. An average stride is followed by a flat bat path with some length. Had an all-fields line drive approach in BP, barreling most balls, 80 mph exit velo. On the infield, Dunlap shows off his arm, 82 across the diamond, with advanced accuracy. Fields with a bouncy athleticism and showing good lateral movement. Runs a 7.20 60.       

10-29-17
A long 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame that continues to put on size and strength and still has more room. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from a relaxed, quiet, narrow, open, and upright set-up. Uses a small load with a moderate leg kick before launching his hands on an uphill path the a high finish and good extension. In BP, showed a middle to pull approach, mostly flat with some lift, a few barrels. Exit velo of 85 mph. Runs a 7.2 60. Defensively, shows clean footwork and excellent soft and consistent hands along with elite arm strength. Throws from multiple slots with a clean arm action and is very accurate, top velo of 88 mph across the diamond. In the game, collected a hit with solid contact through the 6 hole. 

2/4/18
A lean 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame with some wiry strength. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from an upright, narrow, and open stance with rhythm in his hands. Uses a short leg kick and slight arm-bar load before launching his hands on a slightly uphill path. In BP, shows a middle of the field approach with some lift, flashing pop, mostly barrels, 88 mph exit velo. Runs a 7.20 60. Defensively, shows rhythm and athleticism in his feet and soft hands, above average range. Shows the ability to throw from multiple slots with ease and high-end arm strength, some accuracy, 90 mph across the diamond.
