McLennan CC Scout Day: Quick Hits


Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Thursday, September 18th, the PB Texas staff traveled to McLennan Community College in Waco, TX, to host the McLennan CC Scout Day.

Position Players participated in batting practice and infield/outfield, while Pitchers threw one inning in a scrimmage setting against live hitters, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Texas staff.

Today, we will be providing our scouting takeaways on the event's top performers, found below.

McLennan Community College | BP / In–Out / Scrimmage Notes


Pitchers (1-Inning Looks)

Tyler Sunseri | RHP | RS Fr | 6’4” 220

Physical build with present strength and arm speed. Works from a true three-quarter slot. Fastball sat 94–96 mph with carry (17" IVB) and spun up to 2500 rpm. Curveball at 81–82 mph with 2600 spin; average action now with projectable plus shape. Flashed a mid-80s slider in warmups (DNS in game). Miss potential with both FB and CB.


Charlie Kinkaid | RHP | So | 6’4” 235

Imposing frame; passes the eye test. Repeats delivery well with clean arm action from a low three-quarter slot and good extension. Fastball sat 91–93 mph with tail action. Did not show secondary. Strike thrower with poise; FB plays well. Velocity likely to tick up further.


Gage Goldman | LHP | So | 6’6” 205

Tall, lean build with projection. Repeats delivery; long arm action from a low three-quarter slot. Fastball 88–92 mph (90 avg) with 15 IVB. Sweepy/slurvy slider at 2500+ spin; flashes average shape when landed. Changeup 77 mph. Around the zone throughout; velo jump likely with maturity.


Jacob Evans | RHP | Fr | 6’0” 205

Deceptive delivery with short-arm action from a sidearm slot. Quick arm with life to the FB. Fastball sat 89–92 mph with tail/sink and negative IVB. Sweeping slurve at 73–76 mph, 2300+ spin, flashes quality shape. Creates uncomfortable at-bats with deception and arm speed. Velo should continue to climb.


Gino Zagorac | RHP | Fr | 6’4” 190

Lean, lanky build with room to add strength. Compact arm circle from a high three-quarter slot. Fastball 88–91 mph (17+ IVB avg). Curveball 74–75 mph with 2200 spin. Developing changeup with tail/sink action. Frame, arm speed, and pitchability point to future gains.


Michael Peavy | RHP | Fr | 6’0” 175

Solid build with arm speed. Fastball sat 89–92 mph with tailing life. Slurvy breaking ball at 76–77 mph spun above 2700 rpm at times, showing flashes of tight action. Changeup at 85 mph with fade. Intriguing three-pitch mix; arm quickness stands out.


Sam Elrich | RHP | Fr | 5’11” 190

Both showed the ability to spin the baseball at 2700+ rpm with average shape. Fastballs for both worked 87–90 mph. Foundation present to develop breaking pitches into weapons.
