Senior Games: Top Prospects (Part 1)

HUNTSVILLE, TX - The Senior Games was loaded with uncommitted talent, and a number of players that will be moving up the 2019 Rankings that we will release next week. Here are the top pitchers and two-way players with video. 

Top Prospects (Part 1)

MACKENSON BOBO RHP / OF / CARTHAGE, TX / 2019 Bobo is a command right-hander with feel for three pitches that will be a quality addition to a recruiting class. Listed at 5-foot-8, 155-pounds, Bobo works from a ¾ slot with a loose arm stroke and quick hand out front. Pounds the zone with his fastball at 84-87 with arm side run. Spins his curveball for a strike with 10/4 shape at 72 mph, and his changeup is a legitimate pitch with arm side fade at 78-79 mph. Worth noting, the two-way player and right-handed hitter also ran a 6.73 60-yard dash, threw 92 from the outfield, and posted an exit velocity of 91. With his arm strength, athleticism, and ability to throw three pitches for a strike and track record for eating innings, Bobo will likely be a quality sleeper pick for a recruiting class. /var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found /var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found

JOE SLACK OF / LHP / LIBERTY, TX / 2019 Slack had an impressive all-around day. After running a 6.8 60-yard dash, the 5-foot-9, 165-pound two-way player, flashed power to the pull side as he elevated the baseball with an exit velocity of 90 mph, driving the ball deep, including hitting a home run foul. Starting from a tall, open stance, he turns his hips using a leg kick as he strides forward, loading his hands back and down into a front arm bar. Rotates to contact, working on an uphill path as he snaps the barrel through with a high finish. During the game, he flew out on the barrel to centerfield during the game, and got a hustle-double down the left field line. Showcases easy actions in the outfield with smooth rhythm, quick footwork, and clean transition into an athletic crow hop that allows him to generate significant arm speed with a top velocity of 87 mph.  The left-hander pounded the strike zone with a FB/SL/CB mix, working from a ¾ slot with his fastball at 83-85 mph with arm side life. His slider is sharp with 10/4 shape and depth at 75-78 mph, and acts more like a cutter with late depth. Also mixed in a 69 mph 11/5 curveball that pops up out of his hand but finishes with depth.  /var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found /var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found
