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.

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - OF - Elijah Nunez

  Elijah Nunez OF                TCU   2-19-23 - D1 - Week 1 - Saturday  - OF Elijah Nunez  is one of college baseball’s most exciting players … He already had one of the best eyes in college baseball at the plate. Now, he’s off to a red-hot start to begin the 2023 campaign, and that’s a big development for the Frogs. Nunez was the emotional leader for the Frogs in the rout over Arkansas. In addition to having a couple of hits for the Frogs, he pressed the issue with his speed, and also finished the night with a pair of walks. Nunez is a do-it-all player, and he’s a strong defender to go with his offensive attributes.   1-19-23 - Top 25 Breakdown: No. 15 TCU https://d1baseball.com/season-preview/top-25-breakdown-no-15-tcu/ Glue Guy: OF Elijah Nunez . Good things typically happen when Nunez finds his way on base. The talented junior slugger is a pure lefthanded hitter who has an excellent eye at the plate. Proof? He finished last season with a whopping 58 walks. He also showed

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - SS - Marcus Brown

  Marcus Brown SS Oklahoma State   2-22-23 - Opening Weekend  - Marcus Brown , SS, Oklahoma State– Brown came into his own as a sophomore at OSU last spring, hitting .316/.378/.441 with 15 doubles as a catalyst for the Cowboys. He then took his lumps last summer in the Cape, hitting .236 with 31 strikeouts against 10 walks. He started the 2023 season 1-for-9 with four strikeouts at the Showdown. At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds he’s a strong, quick-twitch athlete with decent bat speed, but his swing has some length, and he continues to be a bit pull-happy in our looks. Brown is a good runner who is aggressive on the basepaths, and he has adequate range and an average arm with a quick release that plays at shortstop at this level, though he likely profiles better at second base in pro ball. At this point, I see Brown as a very solid college player, yet one who projects as a mid-to-later Day Two pick instead of the one who has received Day One hype elsewhere this preseason. 2-6-23 - Prospect
