2014 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
Peyton Whitten is a 2015 RHP/SS with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Anniston, AL who attends Piedmont. Large, athletic frame with long, lean limbs and a projectable build with room to fill out with added strength. Good athlete, ran a 6.97 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, works from a high three-quarter arm slot with a short and compact arm action in the back, helping to hide the ball very well. High leg kick at start of delivery, gets on top of the ball well, creates deception, short stride down the mound with lower half. Fastball topped out at 87 mph with a quick arm and slight run to his arm side, working down and to both sides. Mixes in two off speed pitches, generates ground ball contact and projects for more velocity with incorporation of lower half. Slows on curveball, generates 11-5 shape at 66 mph and flashed a changeup in the low 70s with fade to arm side. Moves well in the infield with quick feet, full arm action on throws across and gets on top of the ball well. Quiet approach at the plate, quick bat with fluid hands, gets the barrel through the zone and consistently hits to the middle of the field. Named to Southeast Top Prospect List. Good student.
