The new Wild Thing?
Van Scoyoc began his collegiate career with two seasons at Arizona State before transferring to Central Oklahoma this season. The left-hander has a fastball that sits in the low-90's and has flashed signs of a plus breaking ball throughout his career. Van Scoyoc, however, has had trouble with his command at times, leading to some struggles in the Cape Cod Baseball League, as well as this spring with the Bronchos. He'll have to work on consistently attacking the strike zone at the next level.
Big and strong athletic build. Right handed hitter, hits from a spread stance with good balance and good extension through contact, has some lift in his swing with a middle of the field, gap to gap orientation, has quick hands and some bat speed with more to come. 7.58 runner, has good lower half flexibility for his size and sets up well behind the plate, very nice exchange on his throws with good footwork and some arm strength, 1.94 best pop time. Good young athlete who could get really strong with work. Very good student.

Also plays 1B, 3B and OF. Not sure where he's committed to
Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45
Prosecky boosted his profile by topping out at 93 mph at the World Wood Bat Association World Championship last October, and he has continued to perform well against top competition this spring. He limited Marist High (Chicago) and Jason Hodges, the best position prospect among Illinois high schoolers, to one run in five innings in a Wrigley Field showdown in late April. Though Louisville does a good job of holding onto its Chicago-area recruits, his projectability could entice a pro team to buy him away from college.
Prosecky works at 89-93 mph with his fastball, compensating for modest life by using his 6-foot-4 frame and high-three-quarters arm slot to create angle and plane. He has plenty of room to add strength and could start reaching the mid-90s regularly once he fills out. He has advanced feel for a changeup, selling it with deceptive arm speed and achieving some fade.
After flashing a solid slider on the showcase circuit, Prosecky has seen it become more fringy this spring and has lost some trust in his breaking ball. He has an easy delivery and repeats it well, allowing him to work both sides of the plate. He's reminiscent of Mark Buehrle in the way he works faster than most pitchers while pounding the strike zone.
