Caleb Freeman

Texas TechRHP
Notes:

Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 205 | B-T: R-R 
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted 
Scouting Report: A glance at Freeman’s statistics would seem to preclude any idea of him being drafted. Freeman was expected to be Texas Tech’s closer thanks to a 94-98 mph fastball, but he’s much more of a thrower than a pitcher and his velocity dipped to 92 mph at times. Most importantly, he can’t find the strike zone. Opponents hit .393 against Freeman, as he went 2-0, 6.75 with 12 walks and 12 strikeouts in 14.2 innings this spring. Freeman shows flashes of having a plus breaking ball to go with his sometimes plus fastball, but his 20-grade control and command keeps him from taking advantage of his high-end stuff.
 

He went 2-0 in spite of the high 6.75 ERA and batting avg against..."Caleb is just a winner"

Finally!!!  Kids got massive power and I mean MASSIVE power.

Gladney is a big and strong third baseman with a promising bat and plus raw power. There’s contact issues right now to go with the power. There are more concerns about his defense as a number of evaluators believe he will end up in left field eventually. He’s signed to go to Eastern Kentucky.

Well, he's not Lance Broadway.

Yeah, talking about a bad hit tool. Swing over spin, look at a strike, then swing over spin again. Good start to the video.

Yep. I'm surprised that video is even up. It is more of a lowlights video. 

Kid is getting drafted cause he can crush the ball when he actually makes contact. real high exit velocity numbers according to perfect game.

2080 puts up what they get. They have a lot of boring highlights but also, not a criticism, it's great how much video content they have for all types of prospects.

Gladney is a fun one. 

Rules:

- Position player with plus raw power and poor hit tool = fun

- Pitcher with big arm but no control = sucks

Given the two, I feel like it's more likely a pitcher figures it out enough to hang around.

Hit tool and control are skills that are pretty difficult to teach

The freaking Diamondbacks landed 13 of the MLB.com top 200 players. That is insane.
