Height: 6'3

Weight: 180

B/T: L/L

School: South Hills HS (California)

Hometown: La Puente, CA

DOB: 8/10/99

 

SCOUTING REPORT:

Perfect Game:

As opposed to Danny Zimmerman above, Morales has spent much of his high school career as a primary outfielder, although scouts have always been intrigued by his loose and very athletic build and potential on the mound. But Morales only threw two innings during his junior season, so there wasn't much track record to go by.

 

That changed this spring as Morales got stronger and worked hard on improving his pitching during the off season and started the year reportedly topping out at 93 mph from a long and loose 3/4's arm action. He went 6-2, 1.50 in 42 innings during the spring, although he relied heavily on his fastball and still needs plenty of work on his secondary pitches.

Height: 6-0

Weight: 185

B/T: R/L

School: Allatoona HS (Georgia)

DOB: 6/1/98

 

SCOUTING REPORT:

Perfect Game:

A 2016 Perfect Game All-American, Jacobsen has been on the prospect radar for quite some time, dating back to his underclass days. A true burner of a runner with consistent 70-grade speed, Jacobsen projects to stay in center field long term and has added some more power to his game this spring, jumping him up draft boards even higher than he already was following the All-American Classic last summer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle Jacobsen is a 2017 OF/LHP with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Acworth, GA who attends Allatoona HS. Medium athletic build, some present strength with room for more. Left handed hitter, has very good hitting rhythm and sound, consistent swing mechanics, well timed use of his lower half to generate bat speed, has quick hands, very easy tension free swing, creates excellent bat speed, sees the ball well, highest level hitting tools and approach. 6.49 runner, gets good jumps and runs good routes in the outfield, has a chance to stay in centerfield, good throwing mechanics and makes accurate throws. Bat makes him stand out. Good student, verbal commitment to South Carolina. Selected for the Perfect Game All-American Classic.

Height: 6'11

Weight: 185

B/T: R/L

School: St. Cloud Technical HS

Hometown: St. Cloud, MN

DOB: 6/10/99

 

SCOUTING REPORT:

Perfect Game:

Trevor Koenig is a 2017 LHP/1B with a 6-10 185 lb. frame from St Cloud, MN who attends St Cloud Technical HS. Has a very tall, lean build, and tons of room to fill out physically as he begins to grow into his body and put on additional muscle. Works from a slower paced delivery, high leg raise, with good balance throughout. Arm has medium action through the back, stays tall and directional through release. Fastball flashes arm side run, curveball creates good hard spin down in the zone. Works ahead in counts, interesting tools that could even further develop. At the plate, right-handed hitter that starts with an upright narrow stance and high hand set. Extended swing with natural leverage. Good student.
