After starting at quarterback as a freshman at Southmoore High School in Oklahoma City, it seemed Conner Uselton (pronounced Us-el-tun) was on the fast track to big time Division I college football. Already 6-foot-3 with a big arm and the presence to run a no huddle shotgun based offense, it was only a matter of time […]
If there is a better catch-and-throw guy in the country than MJ Melendez, we haven’t seen him yet. His combination of footwork, transfer and arm strength yielded pop times in the 1.75 to 1.85 range at the 2015 Under Armour Futures East Showcase, where he also recorded times in the low 1.9 range from his knees. As […]
Prior to the 2016 Baseball Factory All-America Pre-Season Rookie Tournament, the best fastball velocity recorded at one of our events by a 2019 graduate was 85 mph — which we’d seen from three pitchers, followed by two each at 84 and 83 mph. That mark was shattered by a 92 mph fastball from Chris McElvain at the […]
It’s important to look at run times (and really all measurables for that matter) within the context of age and/or graduating class. In other words, sub-seven 60 yard dashes are not commonly seen from 2019 graduates. As of the most recent compilation of 60 yard dash data, 87 players posted run times of at least 7.25, with […]
At the September 2015 Under Armour Futures West Showcase, I was in the outfield at the end of the measured track timing and recording 60 yard dashes. We had an excellent group of runners that day, with sixteen of the twenty-one position players in attendance posting sub-seven times. As is habit for me, I look down […]
I didn’t know it at the time, but what I thought was a productive run through Southern California scouting players for the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game would end up even more successful nearly a year-and-a-half after I returned home. I flew across the country on a Friday morning in April 2014, and was at […]
We first saw Kyle Hurt as a 5-foot-6 145 pound rising 7th-grader at the August 2011 Under Armour Baseball Factory Interactive Video Program in La Jolla, CA. At the time, he was a two-way player that played 1B when he wasn’t pitching. He topped at 71 mph that day, and showed a loose arm along […]
Maximum exit velocity was recorded as part of the Easton HitLab station, where teams reported on either Saturday or Sunday depending on their schedule. Many players took advantage of the opportunity both days, with several marking improvements in their exit velocity from one day to the next. Maximum exit velocities shown below have been rounded […]
In January 2015, 6-foot-3 and 210 pound Jack Conlon fit the “power arm / power bat type two-way guy” profile with his performance at the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament — a performance that earned him Top 10 honors among 2017 graduates. If you clicked the link and read the associated scouting report, you’ll see […]
Pop times were recorded during the defensive workout, and as much as possible on the game fields between innings and in live situations. The class of 2017 accounted for all seven sub-1.9 pop times we saw over the course of the defensive workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Harper (Houston, TX) posted 1.81 for the second […]

The video definitely had an impact.”
