2020 Sunshine South Showcase
Blane Zeplin is a 2022 RHP/3B with a 6-2 210 lb. frame from Victoria, TX who attends Victoria West. Large, physical frame with present strength. Recorded a 7.91 second sixty-yard dash time. Primary right-handed pitcher with a fairly simple operation; side-step rocker into a belt high leg lift and efficient lower half movements down the slope. Fastball worked in the 80-83 MPH range with occasional sinking life and the ability to command the bottom half of the zone. Fills up the zone with full mix effectively, garnering tons of ground balls while showing feel for spin with tight 11-to-5 shaped breaking ball. Changeup is still developing with flashes of fade and replicated arm speed at 67 MPH. Secondary third baseman with soft hands, fairly good lateral agility and accuracy across the diamond from multiple angles. Developing arm strength with throws recorded up to 82 MPH in drills. Right-handed hitter; upright, slightly open stance with hover trigger and inline weight shift to contact. Gap-to-Gap approach with strength in hands, present bat speed and pull-side power potential when he gets extended. Physically strong at present with room to improve with some proper mechanical adjustments. Excellent Student.
