WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2

WWBA Underclass Uncommitted Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2

The WWBA Underclass World Championship is a national stage where the top underclass talent comes together, some known on the circuit while others are making their first impressions on Perfect Game scouts. With the abundance of scouting reports filed away each day from our scouts and the current state of recruiting, we have split our recaps into committed and uncommitted features, all of which will be linked at the top of each daily installment.

Easy things to like here with ‘22 Nick Finarelli. Loads of athleticism w/ physical projection at 6-3 185. Pretty easy 84-87, sinks it a ton and commands to all parts. Tight SL w/ some power to it @ 78 (here). Solid upside. #WWBAWorlds #Hokies https://t.co/7jdtaG74lv pic.twitter.com/SMAi4wYTzM

Nick Finarelli (2022, Hunlock Creek, Pa.) put forth a stellar start in the first slot of the final pool play day going seven shutout innings, allowing just a pair of hits and walks while striking out nine. Needing just 83 pitches to finish it out, Finarelli pounded the zone with a two-pitch mix that projects extremely well as he continues to add strength to an already 6-foot-3, 185 pound frame. Working at 84-87 mph, and still getting that velocity in the late innings, he sinks the fastball well down in the zone and shows ease in commanding to either half. The out-pitch he used was a tight slider in the upper-70s that showed some power to it with late bite as he garnered a number of empty swings. Overall, the upside is easy to like given the success of the now stuff paired with the athleticism, repeatability and confidence he works with in the zone already.
