1/6/2019: Joel Archer, 1B/ RHP, Floyd Central HS, 2020, 6 foot 3, 225 pounds, Physical Corner/ Pitcher body, frame allows to add strength easily. Solid balance and strength in swing with a max exit velocity of 86 mph. Joel is an average defender at 1B with plenty of bat potential. On the mound Joel was 82-84 mph with his fastball from a high ¾ slot. Showed better feel for his curveball at 70-73 mph than he did for his changeup at 71-72. Curveball had pretty good 11/5 shape, and has makings of a good pitch down the road.
