Ennis

9/29/13 Ennis is spending his fall tossing footballs around a gridiron rather than throwing a baseball off a mound, but that didn't stop him from turning in a solid performance at Alderson Broaddus. The No. 1 ranked prospect in the West Virginia Class of 2014 sat 86-87 while touching 88 mph in his three innings of work. Ennis also displayed an improving 72 mph curveball with 11/5 break as well as a 76 mph changeup. Ennis struck out three and allowed three hits in his time on the mound while showing similar velocity from the summer months. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound righty is not a finished product and projects as a prospect likely to see 90 mph in the near future.

7/16/13 Ennis is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect that has a frame that appears to be still maturing. He showed athletic actions and good straight line carry on throws of 79 mph from the outfield without coming close to cutting the ball loose. The right-handed hitter displayed a short swing path and the ability to use all fields during a solid round of batting practice with a bat exit velocity of 85 mph. Ennis impressed on the mound on two days rest after throwing a complete game. He sat 86-88 out of a high 3/4 arm slot with some arm side run. He also displayed a 69 mph 11/5 breaking curveball and a 76 mph changeup, both of which need further development. Ennis is still raw and has much more in him. It is easy to believe that he will sit at or above 90 mph by the start of his senior season.

6/12/13 Ennis was the lone participant from West Virginia at the event and made his trip north very worthwhile. He went three innings on the mound sitting 85-86 out of a high 3/4 arm slot. Ennis touched 88 several times in his first inning of work and showcased a 67-70 mph 11/5 breaking curveball and a 68 mph changeup as additional pitches in his arsenal. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-handed hitter displayed an 81 mph bat exit velocity hitting from a square stance with no stride. Ennis had an RBI single in his only plate appearance in game play.
