7/9/13 - 6-foot, 155-pound prospect with lanky build and projectable frame, ran a 7.33 60 yard dash and showcased an 81 mph outfield arm with online carry.  At the plate, hits from a balanced/crouch setup, uses a toe tap trigger, minimal stride, showed some improved lower half use over previous event, increased tee exit velocity 2 mph to 76 mph.  On the mound, shows good rhythm in delivery, mechanics stay on-line, uses long arm action through a high ¾ arm slot, fastball sat 77-79 mph (3-4 mph increase over January event) and is straight, had a tendency to bury 2-seamer, showed decent command of his curveball at 62-64 mph with 11/5 action, throws a solid changeup with good arm action at 68-69 mph with some arm-side run, also throws a slider with similar action to his curveball at 64-66 mph, projectable frame should continue to add more velocity in the future.

1/21/13 - Horsley is a 6-foot, 152-pound, young prospect.  He throws from a high ¾ arm slot and showed a straight fastball at 74-75 mph.  He has a tendency to slow his arm speed on his 12/6 curveball that sat at 58-59 mph.  His change up shows promise as a good secondary pitch as it showed good  run and sink at 65-66 mph.  Horsley is a young prospect on the mound with projectability and will continue to get better as he adds to his frame and gets physically stronger.  As outfielder, needs to be more aggressive playing through the ball, 79 mph arm strength with more to come.  Offensively, wide base, toe tap trigger, no stride, needs to get more lower half torque in swing, registered 74 mph exit velocity, ran 5.19 40 yard dash, good, young prospect with raw skills that will continue to develop.
