Scouting the 2020 Draft: Mick Abel

Mick Abel RHP, HS.  6'6", 185 lbs.

Tall HS RHP with a projectable body who throws easy heat up to 97 MPH with mid-80's slurve.  Here is PG's capsule summary:  "Absolutely electric at PG National running his FB up to 97 MPH with minimal effort and still project for more.  Showed plus slider at 86 MPH as well."  "Extra long and tall frame with tremendous physical projection....looks like he is warming up when he's throwing 96 MPH."  The first comp I thought of looking at video was Michael Kopech.  He has Kopech's tremendous ceiling but as in Kopech's case, anytime you have a HS kid throwing this hard this early, TJ is constantly lurking.  High effort or low effort, velocity requires force.
