Jared Price is a stocky righthander who seems like an ordinary arm, but I saw him get into a bases loaded jam sitting 88-90 this summer. Then he found another gear, sitting low 90s, touching 94 and got out of it.
Price and Wenzel said they expect to attend college in the fall, unless they receive offers they can't refuse.
"If I go in the first five rounds, it would definitely make me and my parents think about it a lot more," Price said.
"He's a big, strong kid," the scout said. "He has great physical tools. He has a great body. He has a good fastball (clocked at 94 mph) and a good breaking ball.
"He needs to keep developing. He struggles with his mechanics a little bit. He needs to develop a changeup, but he has the ingredients you're looking for in a high school pitcher."

Price, a Twin Valley senior who has committed to the University of Maryland, could be taken in the first five rounds, according to a major league scout who requested anonymity. Baseball America rates him as the 83rd-best right-handed pitcher available and a fifth- or sixth-round pick.
"When a lot of teams started contacting me, I was real surprised," Price said. "It's always been my dream (to be drafted). When they actually started to come true, I was like, 'Whew.' "

Price was an exception as he seemed to get better as the summer went along. He has sat in the low 90s, touching 93 with his fastball and also showcases one of the better breaking pitches of the region, a 75-78 mph curveball with downer spin.

Best Fastball Jared Price, Sr. RHP, Twin Valley (PA)
A number of pitchers in the region have been in the low 90s, but Price leads the way as he was up to 93 with life at the 17u WWBA. His fastball showed movement and he was able to maintain the velocity for multiple innings, an attribute that may be just as important as touching the velocity in the first place. Other hard throwers: Matt Vogel (NY), Karl Keglovits (PA), and Jesus Colon (NJ).
