Ontario Insider: Top 2017 Uncommitted Outfielders
With the Summer season coming to an end and the 2016-2017 high school sports season as well as fall ball getting underway, we would like to take a look at some of the top uncommitted prospects at each position.
Today we are looking at the top uncommitted senior outfielders in Ontario. We will look to create a few top uncommitted lists each week, as you can see by our 2017 Player Rankings there are numerous talented prospects available.
Lucas Parente, OF, 2017
Rank: 9th in Ontario
Report: Athletic 5-foot-9, 160-pound outfielder who has played all three positions this summer. Profiles more of a centre-fielder, runs well at 6.70, good reads in the outfields with average arm strength. Offensively, leadoff type guy, makes things happen with his bat and legs, will steal at will, line drive guy who will spray balls into the gaps for extra bases.
College Outlook: Chance to be a guy who can contribute early on with speed, looks to be a strong D1 player, with a high ceiling once he adds size and strength.
