The top-ranked uncommitted southpaw in the class is LHP Lucas Collins (Ft. Wayne Dwenger). Athletic at 6-foot, 185 pounds - Collins turns his arm over with quickness to produce an 86-88, touching 88.7 mph fastball. Collins moves exceptionally well, creating hip-to-shoulder separation within the delivery, and is an above-average strikethrower. Collins 'pulled the string' on a 74-76 mph changeup, his best offspeed offering at the moment. There is some feel to spin, showing two breaking balls, a shorter, 76-80 mph slider and a 1/7 shaped curveball at 73-74 mph.
