Kansas and Missouri Staff

On Saturday, February 22, Prep Baseball Report - Missouri held the Mac n Seitz Scout Day event at the Mac n Seitz Baseball Facility in Kansas City. Roughly 50 prospects were in attendance, representing the 2021-to-2024 classes.

Shortly after the event’s conclusion we published an instant analysis story, highlighting the top statistical performers from the event. We kicked off our position-by-position breakdowns earlier last week and have knocked out three position groups already: catchers, outfielders, and infielders. Our positional coverage concludes today as we analyze the pitchers from this event.

A trio of ranked uncommitted 2021 prospects headline this rather intriguing group of arms: Adam Gray (Lees Summit North), Lance Teague (Blue Valley Southwest), and Weston Madden (Desoto).

Gray leads this bunch as arguably the top overall pitcher from the event. He topped the velocity leaderboard and featured a power breaking ball that he’s capable of throwing for strikes. His physicality paired with an uptick in velocity make him a must-follow in Missouri’s 2021 class.

Teague has plenty of upside on the mound given his athletic arm action and lively low-80s fastball. He’s a lanky 6-foot-1 athlete with room to mature and continue to fill out his frame.

Madden’s frame projects on the mound as well, but it’s his stuff and polish that caught the eyes of our staff. He showed capable of throwing all three pitches for strikes, including a potential swing-and-miss breaking ball that just adds to his arsenal.

Rounding out this group is Cole Chase (2023; Blue Springs South). A strong-bodied frame helps Chase run his fastball up to 80 mph with slight arm-side actions. He’ll be a name-to-remember as we ramp up our coverage of the 2023 class.

Read on below for all the pitching reports from this event.
