Venters is a very athletic LHP/OF who projects at the pro level both ways. He will settle in to one or the other in time. First of all he has a 6'3 frame and weighs in at 170. 6'3/170 athletes you can project. Especially when the present day skills are excellent and the makeup is excellent. Venters is a plus runner, ran a 6.8 on a very slow track. He's capable of 6.6 maybe better. He has at least an average MLB arm from the outfield. He can hit and has lots of natural strength that creates excellent bat speed. And he tracks balls down in the outfield. On the mound in Ft Myers his fastball was a consistent 84-85 with a good breaking ball and a nice changeup. His arm works great and he knows what he's doing. And he is left handed. Venters future looks very bright. Someone might like him enough to draft in a decent spot. More than likely he will be a star college player and become an early pick later on. Remember the name, we have a good feeling about this kid.

Venters is a good athlete with a live projectable body. As a LHP he shows a lot of ability, but we like him as a player even more. A plus runner, good arm and a nice swing. He handles the wood pretty well and he's going to get much stronger. Someone to keep close tabs on.

Venters has a chance to be a top prospect as a LHP. He's coming back from an injury and we think he will throw 90. Good mechanics, great life on his heater and shows a good breaking ball and change. He can hit and is a plus runner too!
