Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 178.8-pounds. Wiry and long-levered frame.
Delivery: Easy, methodical delivery, shorter leg lift into drop and drive lower half.
Arm Action: RH. Long, full arm circle, 3/4 slot.
FB: T84, 79-83 mph. Slight arm-side run, easy out of the hand. T2228, 2083 average rpm.
CB: 66-69 mph. 10/4 shape, sweeping action. T1873, 1754 average rpm.
CH: 73-73 mph. Flashed arm-side fade. T1323, 1323 average rpm.
A wiry 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame. Struck out three batters in three and ⅔ innings pitched. Simple, smooth delivery and works from a ¾ slot. Mainly went to the fastball that sat 79-82 mph T83 w/ life that generated swings and misses. Sprinkled in a breaking ball at 67-70 mph.
RHP Michael Morse (Newman Central Catholic, 2027) is coming off a spring where he threw 33.2 innings and struck out 39, finishing with a 5-1 record. He stands in an intriguing 6-foot-1, 177-pound frame, and showed a quality ‘pen on Tuesday morning. He’s a loose and easy mover on the mound, displaying a fastball up to 85.3 mph (event best), but sitting mostly 80-84 mph. His fastball averaged 2345 rpm, which led the event, also recording an average induced vertical break of 15 inches. Morse also tossed an upper-60s slider, and a change-up at 70-72 mph. Heading into August 1st, Morse is an uncommitted name to know.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-0, 177 pounds.
Delivery: Clean, easy mover down the mound, high leg lift with tuck and coil, tall/fall down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm path, 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 80-84 mph. Comes out of the hand clean, firm. T2457, 2346 average rpm.
CB: 68-69 mph. 10/4 shape, sweeping action. T1883, 1750 average rpm.
CH: 70-72 mph. Plays with some fade. T1399, 1299 average rpm.
Uncommitted. Stands in at a wiry 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with room for added strength. One of the more intriguing arms from the state finals. Pitched an inning of work for Newman Central with two walks and a strikeout. May not have gotten the results he wanted, but there is a lot to be interested in with Morse. It’s a simple delivery, working out of the stretch with a low leg kick and working straight down the mound, throws out of a ¾ slot with a loose arm action. Fastball worked in the low-80s at times. Morse emerged as a must-follow 2027 moving forward.
