TPL Scout Day: Stats Breakdown
Tue October 17, 2017
Ronald Sims
Mississippi Scouting Director
The Prospect Lab scout day took place on Sunday, October 15th, on the campus of Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, MS. The open event saw close to 100 participants display their skills in a pro still workout, in front of 30 pro and college scouts as well as the Prep Baseball Report staff.
New Orleans recruit, 2019 RHP Antoine Harris (Chalmette), showed why he is one of the top prospects in his class, out of the state of Louisiana. Highly projectable, athletic 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame, Harris showed off his electric right-handed arm, sitting 88-90 mph in his bullpen session. Harris displayed easy velocity with a repeatable delivery, throwing an improved breaking ball with late action and solid depth at 75-77 mph.
Louisiana Tech recruit 2019 OF Adarius Myers (Seminary) kicked off the TPL scout day showing explosive, fast-twitch athleticism. The physical 5-foot-10, 180-pounder posted one of the fastest 60-yard dash times running a 6.7, and put together a quality round of batting practice, using the entire field from the right side with a strong, simple, direct bat path.
A complete recap of the event will be coming in the following weeks.
