Summer Kickoff ID - Prospect Analysis - Pitchers 

 

 

 

Reed Garris RHP / C / Wando, SC / 2021

C/RHP with a strong athletic profile. Muscular lower half and projectable build will give him a chance to add strength at the next level. Relaxed, open stance with a forward hand set. Knee tuck load pushes the hands back over the back foot, with a long stride. Showed ability to lag the barrel and generate some pop through contact, with a lofted path. Good bend in the hips behind the plate, handled pitches in the lower half of the zone with strong hands and wrists. Worked with short rocker step to a balance point just above the belt. Slightly rotational delivery with full arm action on the back side and powerful extension through release. FB showed riding life through the zone with potential to make jump. SL showed good bite at 70-73 mph. 

 

 

 

 

Reed Garland RHP / OF / Northwestern, SC / 2020

Lean build with room for additional development. Moderate strength in the lower half and good arm length. Easy delivery with repeatable tempo. Short rocker step and a balance point just above the belt. Landed slightly open of his line and worked with a full arm action and slight scar load to a OTT arm slot.  FB showed riding life through the zone at 88 mph and developing feel for offspeed. Flashed a sharp 73 mph slider but inconsistent landing it for strikes.
