Best Fastball: Top 5


These are the guys with the best heaters in league (velocity, movement, command all taken into consideration). I'll have a quick note on each:
1.     Tony Zych, RHP, Bourne/Louisville, Height: 6-03, Weight: 175
  • Pure power, 94-97mph, good arm-side run, consistently gets swings and misses. Must improve command.
2.     Austin Wood, RHP, Cotuit/St. Petersburg, Height: 6-04, Weight: 220
  • Sits 92-95, with ability to touch 98. Highest recorded velocity on Cape. Locates fairly well.
3.     Marcus Stroman, RHP, Orleans/Duke, Height: 5-09, Weight: 180
  • Electric fastball that explodes out his hand with ease. At 94-97mph and with his small stature, ball appears to rise on its way to the plate.
4.     R.J. Alvarez, RHP, Bourne/ Florida Atlantic, Height: 6-01, Weight: 180
  • Hard to see, hard to hit. Alverez tosses a 94-97mph fastball across his body     with good life. Like his teammate Zych, he needs to improve his control.
5.     Anthony Meo, RHP, Bourne/Coast Carolina, Height: 6-02, Weight: 185
  • Highest average velocity FB for a starter other than Wood. Full-effort delivery produces a darting, arrow-straight, fastball. Still struggles with command.
Side Note: 
Yes, Bourne had 3 of the top 5 flamethrowers and possibly 5 or 6 of the top 10. 
Kyle McMyne could bring it up to 95 (no control) and Mike Morin and Grayson Garvin lived in the low 90's too.
