Seamus Keller RHP / Master's Academy International, MA / 2027Rankings StateRank: 17 / POS: 7
The 6-foot-7, 230-pound lanky right-handed pitcher remains uncommitted heading into his senior year, 16 months removed from Tommy John surgery. With his projectable frame and continued development of a three-pitch mix, he offers plenty of upside and intrigue for college programs. Mechanically, Seamus works exclusively from the stretch with a drop and drive delivery. The arm stays compact in the backswing then works into a low ¾ release. Since returning from surgery, the FB has climbed back into the high 80s with the same natural armside run he showed pre-surgery, when it generated up to 17.6” of HM and 2,284 RPMs. The offspeed features a CB/SL in the high 70s with late gloveside break, a different look from the CB we saw a couple years ago. The CH also works in the high 70s range, generating slight armside fade and drop keeping hitters off balanced. With a 6-foot-7 frame, a developing three-pitch mix, and velocity already trending back into the high 80s, Seamus offers significant physical projection and plenty of upside as he continues to regain his pre-surgery form. |

Jackson Fulginite RHP / St Sebastians School, MA / 2027Rankings StateRank: 20 / POS: 10
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound uncommitted right handed pitcher has a power three-pitch mix that gives him multiple weapons to attack hitters and an intriguing arsenal for college programs. Mechanically, Jackson works quickly through a sidesaddle wind up with more room to get into his legs at delivery. The arm works with a long stabber motion in the backswing, hooking into a ¾ release with a quick, high-effort, and loose arm action helping his pitches generate high spin rates. His three-pitch mix features a FB mid to high 80s grabbing 90 MPH at times with up over 2200 RPMs and up to 19” of IVB and HM generating firm armside run out of the hand. The SL grades out as his best offspeed pitch sitting in the mid-to-high 70s getting over 2400 RPMs and -14” of HM generating heavy sweep and late sharp action. The CH rounds out the arsenal in the low 80s, pairing natural armside fade with the power of his FB and SL to give hitters a difficult three-pitch mix to navigate. With present velocity, high-spin offerings, and a power three-pitch mix, Jackson has the ingredients to develop into an impactful arm at the next level and should be an intriguing follow for college programs. |

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound uncommitted right handed pitcher has a three-pitch mix that gives him multiple weapons to attack hitters and the potential to develop into a high-impact arm at the next level. Mechanically, he works from a deliberate sidesaddle windup into a tall-and-fall delivery, creating efficient momentum down the mound while allowing the arm to work through a compact backswing into a ¾ release. The three-pitch mix features a firm FB sitting 87-89 MPH topping 90 MPH with up to 2490 RPMs and 18.5” of IVB generating rise out of the hand from a ¾ release. The CB grades out as his best pitch, sitting 72-75 MPH with sharp 11/5 action backed by up to 2,520 RPMs, -13” of IVB, and -15.6” of HM. The pitch has true knee-buckling action and can be a difference-maker when he gets ahead in counts, creating an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters.
