COACHES COMMENTS:
Skylar is a very strong young man with high level baseball ability. He is a solid 3B and a right-handed pitcher who can also play corner outfield. On the mound, Skylar has electric stuff and a very strong mound presence. He throws a heavy fastball from a 3 quarter arm slot and is very tough to square up. He throws a very affective change with late sink and a good difference in velocity. Skylar’s breaking ball is a late breaking slider. It is a swing and miss pitch, and he can throw it in all counts. At the plate, Skylar has above average power and creates a ton of backspin. He is a difference maker in any lineup. He uses all fields well and is very good situationally. At third base, Skylar covers a lot ground and can play the game low. He has soft hands and a very strong throwing arm. In the outfield, Skylar tracks it well, takes good angles, and is a threat to baserunners attempting to take the extra base. Skylar is a competitor and will be a strong addition to a colege program.
Skylar has committed to play college baseball with Georgia Highlands College.
