Sullivan is a big, strong, burly lefty with a vertically-shaped fastball that shows the ability to miss bats up in the zone. He's been into the mid-90s, but generally sits in low-90s. He shows feel for a 12-6 curveball with short break in the mid-70s, though evaluators would like to see the pitch add depth or velocity as he continues to totally harness his arsenal. There's also a changeup here that has been effective when commanded against righty bats. Sullivan learned under the tutelage of Ryan Webb during his days in Athens and has starter traits with development upside.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...

Right now it's gap-to-gap juice with a willingness to sell out for the pull-side when provided the opportunity. Stafura is bouncy and twitchy on the dirt with a big, plus throwing arm that can handle either spot on the left side of the infield.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 77 SS Sammy Stafura Walter Panas A double-plus runner with budding bat speed, Stafura has tools he can maximize as he grows into his body.
