CONNOR PRIELIPPLHP / TOMAH, WI / 2019Uncommitted. 6-foot, 155-pound left-handed pitcher, wiry-thin frame with long limbs. High level of projection in the frame. Pitching for the Wisconsin Hitters, had an overall stellar performance against the Indiana Bulls Black squad. Delivery is smooth, easy and in-line; works downhill, creates angle and gets significant arm-side run on his 85-87 mph fastball. Ball seems to jump on hitters. Breaking ball was equally impressive, working 78-80 with sharp, late bite. Also mixed in a 78-80 mph changeup with fade. Excellent feel for three pitches. Overall calm, confident demeanor on the mound. Arm is athletic and clean from high-¾ slot. Pumped high-volume of strikes. |
