2021 RHP @austin_puett impressed. The uncommitted 6-4 220 right-hander sat comfortably at 90-92 with 2300+ Spin. CB 67-71 CH 79-80. Potential pop-up guy. @SteveDoherty643 @LesLukach @PBR_California pic.twitter.com/ahpEcOQClr

The athletic, strong-framed, switch-hitting Knowles is a name to follow into the 2021 season. He has certainly slipped through the covid-19 pandemic without much notice, however, he put the PBR California staff on notice with his ability to stand out amongst the rest. A loud couple BP rounds from each side of the plate, Knowles showed the ability to repeat his swing and consistently pound the baseball with authority to all fields. There is definitely over the fence power potential. In his ground-ball round he exhibited characteristics of a college level infielder moving well to both sides and demonstrating his ability to get rid of the ball quickly and accurately. Was 86 across the diamond.

Olvera-Harle stands out physically and has noticeable strength on the frame, and you know that he will add muscle and mass as he matures. After posting a 7.00 flat timed 60, Olvera-Harle demonstrated the type of barrel control that is found in players much older than him. He showed an accurate arm that registered 84 mph velocity on throws home. This is a must follow into the 2021 season, and he put all of us on notice.

Proportional, athletic, muscular frame that has room to grow. He has the look of a guy ready to explode on the scene this season. Tallman showed well with an all-around strong workout. The metrics don’t jump off the page, however he moves with confidence around the baseball field, which speaks volumes. Tallman showed that when his barrel is on time he’s able to drive a ball out of the park. We are looking forward to following his progress and seeing what he can do in a game situation.

Classic, smooth left-handed stroke that's eyes on the eyes. Consistently squared the ball up during his BP round. The slick fielding, athletic MIF impressed during his ground-ball round. Showed the ability to get around the ball with quick feet and into proper fielding position. Transfers were consistent and his throws were crisp and on target with some zip behind them.

The last pitcher of the SoCal Scout Day Sunday is the type of feel good story you love to hear. The 6-foot-4 220 pound right-hander Austin Puett topped a personal best 92.20 mph (2436 spin rate). Raw feel, mechanics and slightly above-average analytics coupled with his size make him one of the more “out of nowhere” “pop-up” type players I have seen. Immediately following the twitter post the college recruiters flocked like bees to honey.
Seems strange to find a 6-4 220 pound right-hander with a low 90s fastball relatively unknown. Great moment for PBR-CA and good assurance to how meaningful open scout days are to uncommitted players out there.
