8/24/2014 5:50:41 PM
White #23 Keaton Winn (2016 RHP, Ollie, IA) From a tall projactable body (6-4 190), Winn pitches from high 3/4 arm slot.  FB was 84-86 in today's outing, started mixing in 71CBs to his repertoire in 2nd inning and was very effective with it.  Utilizes his height with tall delivery.  Very simple and repeatable.

White #9 Alec Rickabaugh (2016 RHP, West Des Moines, IA) is another tall righty with good arm.  Was up to 84 mph today.  Throws from deceptive cross body angle.  Also went 2 for 2 with 2 doubles in this game, both hits were hit hard.

White #10 Hunter Swift (2016 LHP, Kansas City, MO) is a lefty with very solid mechanics.  Good use of legs and well balanced weight shift in delivery enables him for consistent release point.  FB was up to 82 mph accompanied with 71CB.  Showed very polished look today.

Purple #6 Ryan Lamke (2016 3B, Altoona, IA) showed good approach at plate, good rhythm in his swing that transferred well against live pitching.  Had a hard hit single up the middle.
