17u Elite Scout Notes: Day 1





One of the uncommitted ‘22’s looking to get his name onto college radars more so this summer, 6-foot-8 right-hander Trevor Busyn (2022, Clarkston, Mich.) got the start for Indiana Prospects Stout, and was really strong for most of his outing on the mound, before losing command late. I saw Busyn last fall, and the strides he’s made from then until now in terms of his strength/stability, coordination of his extremely long body, and overall stuff really do stand out. He ran his fastball up to 88 mph a few times early on, with a quick arm that does hook offline through the back but does so efficiently, settling into the 84-87 mph range with the ability to miss bats both up and down in the zone with the pitch. The curveball has really picked up steam as well, now thrown closer to the mid-70s with feel for varying the shape of the pitch ever-so-slightly at times, and really demonstrating overall good feel to spin. Busyn has already taken one monstrous developmental leap over the past 10 months or so, how high will his next one take him?
 


USA Prime National and Home Plate Chili Dogs-Thompson locked into a pitcher’s duel over at Thompson Intermediate on Thursday afternoon, with USA Prime coming out ahead 3-0. Cameron Keshock (2022, Spanish Fort, Ala.) got the start and the win, going 5 shutout innings for USA Prime. Keshock is huge at 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, and he’s got a lot of room to continue filling out moving forward and has the physical upside of an absolute monster. The arm stroke is pretty loose and easy, working up to 90 mph early on and settling in the 86-89 mph range for the most part. He’s got feel to spin a breaker as well, still a little soft in the low-mid-70s but with good spin and vertical movement, with the makings of an above-average pitch in the future. The projection here is strong, and he reminds this evaluator of what Jackson Rutledge looked like as a prep player several years ago.
