Bell matched up against high profile 2024 ASU commit, Easton Barrett in the opeing game of the season in the Sunshine Tournament, and Bell showed what we had been seeing throughout the Jan/Feb preseason velocity wise. The FB that was 83-87 all through a 9-0 junior season, and through the summer month's, culminating in Bell shutting things down after the PBR West Coast Games, due to fatigue, is now sitting 88-90 T91!! Bell was holding the velocity during this matchup, and touched 90 in the 5th inning, as he was cruising. With BYU commit and teammate Ridge Erickson putting on a clinic behind the plate, the top pitcher/catcher duo in the state, went to work in taking care of a Springville lineup, that had no answer for Bell. Cayson's final line: IP 6 H 2 R 1 ER 1 BB 1 SO 10, as he moved to a perfect 13-0 since the start of his sophomore year. It will be interesting to see where this new found toy, in establishing a FB that has jumped 4-5 mph since last summer. A pitcher that mixes and matches a late breaking 71-73 mph CB and solid avg CH 81-83 w/late hard sink, gives hitters a spacing of 3 pitches, that are becoming hard to cover and get the sweet spot too.
Cayson really jumped on the scene this past spring as he led the state with a perfect 9-0 record and coupled with his sophomore season of 3-0, Bell is undefeated at 12-0, spanning the last two years. Lean, with and more skinny throughout, the frame is slight and does need to put added weight and strength, to hold up for more than a 2-3 month HS season. The base delivery and arm action and arm speed is in place, to make quick strides in velocity. Pitches out of the stretch only and features a unique setup in his hold position. He sets his front leg in a closed position and then leans back and lifts into a flexible high kick to delivery. The momentum down the slope and stride length, lengthen out to use the slope to power the ball down on the zone. In the spring when at full strength, the arm speed is whippy and has a loose wrist to finish pitches, yet needs to use his wrist and fingers more to back spin the ball and really rip through the seems to get the baseball to take off through the zone. The FB sat comfortably at 84-88 w/run and sink w/kill spin. Needs to spin the ball tighter to be able to turn the ball over to a 4 seamer to utilize the top portion of the zone, to all the ball to keep its plane for swing and misses. The CB 72-76 takes on true TQ shape w/loose depth in the zone. The CH 75-79 has kill spin action with run, sink and depth. Currently his best secondary pitch and he maintains FB arm speed and the pitch has deception and gets swings and misses. Has an idea on the mound and competes and has know-how. Look for a strong senior year as he is drawing interest with a couple of JC offers in hand!
