39. Aidan Keenan, RHP, Live Oak HS (CA) – With a very low 3/4 delivery bordering on sidearm, there is plenty of movement in Keenan’s pitches, although the fastball does flatten out at times and becomes very hittable. When at it’s best, the fastall sits 92-95 with sink and run from a whippy arm. His breaking ball is a sweeping runner of a slider between 75-78 but covers a ton of horizontal ground. MOst likely a future reliever, the arm action and stuff could make him a quality high leverage arm.

Scouts love the pure stuff and intensity Keenan brings to the bump. It's a fastball into the mid-90s that explodes out of hand, though his shape wavers as the game moves along. Keenan has the ability to break off a big, slurvy breaking ball that's made kids his age look foolish as he possesses conviction in the breaking ball. It's a fairly long arm action in the back, so shortening that up and tightening his elbow spiral may help scouts convince themselves this is a long-term starter profile. Mechanics aside, the pure stuff here is awfully good. He can mow down hitters with the best of them in this class.

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...
