Uncommitted Spotlight: Payton Heinley
December 15, 2020
Today, we’ll spotlight Kennett’s uncommitted senior LHP Payton Heinley, the 80th overall ranked prospect in Missouri’s 2021 class.
Our last in-person look at Heinley was back in January of 2019, when he attended our East Arkansas showcase and came away as one of the event’s biggest winners. There, his fastball sat 80-84 mph with a natural downhill ride and his curveball flashed sharp action from a 12/6 plane at 67-69 mph.
You can find his full profile, with video and stats, down below:
