LHP Haiden Leffew, South Rowan (NC), 2023 

Performance: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 8 K, 2 BB, 62% Strikes 

Commitment: Wake Forest 

Haiden Leffew put together a very strong start for the South Charlotte Panthers on the second day of the WWBA World Championships, going four plus innings against a talented Chicago Scouts Association team. He sat in the low 90s with a riding four seam fastball, mixing in a high 80s two seamer that he busted in on the hands of right handed hitters. Off those fastballs Leffew mixed in a low 80s changeup and sweepy low 70s curveball that missed barrels, and commanded his entire arsenal well throughout his outing. With a good body and evident athleticism, the Kannapolis, NC native checks plenty of boxes with evaluators that will be eager to see how he looks in the Spring.

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.
