We take a look at a few players from across the state, that we saw last week,
Jamal Washington, RHP, Blytheville HS, 2015
Washington,the 6 foot 145-pound righty has a project-able frame. has a clean loose arm from a high-3/4 arm slot. His fastball velocity was 82-84 and he located it well glove side. The curveball has 11/5 action but lacks depth. He projects to throw harder with some mechanical fixes to his timing and extension.
Ryan Hunter, OF/MIF, Maumelle HS, 2016
Hunter, the 5-foot-8 155- pound athlete shows all the tools to being a solid utility player. Defensively he shows good instincts in the outfield with a strong arm. When he transfers to the infield he has soft hands, and fluid footwork. Offensively he has a short compact swing from a closed stance. His bat speed and balance is above average.
Kuron Summons, OF/LHP, Maumelle HS, 2015
Summons, is 5-foot 6 a 165-pound is an above average athlete running a 6.7 60. Defensively he gets good reads on balls in the air. He has a good arm with a clean accurate arm. Offensively he has a short left-handed swing with a smooth load and good balance. His bat speed is good but he tends to swing up hill.
Ryan Maillison, MIF, Jacksonville HS, 2015
Mallison is a 5-foot 8 150-pound MIF with good athleticism running a 6.9 60. Defensively, he has soft hands and good footwork. He turns the double play with a good exchange and an average arm. Offensively he has a short compact swing from the left-side. His stance is slightly open which leads to him diving in at times. His balance and bat speed are both above average. He has an advanced approach, that has shown the ability to hit the ball to either gap.
