Yesterday I decided to take a look at Sean Hjelle, a local prep pitcher from Mahtomedi who was ranked the 28th best prep prospect in baseball by Prep Baseball Report. I took one look at him and thought, “This is the tallest pitcher I have ever seen,” but that isn’t surprising seeing he is an even seven feet tall. With that height some people might worry about his delivery, but he seemed to repeat it with ease, and threw 85-90 miles per hour into the eight inning. He showed a two-seamer, a four-seamer, a decent circle change, and a slider, throwing over the top consistently for strikes, with his height and over the top delivery he produces a lot of ground balls. Hjelle is committed to the Kentucky Wildcats to play baseball, although he was a two sport star in high school, so if a team drafts him they might have trouble convincing him to sign, but teams are looking at him, including the Twins, who had a scout there who was taking a look at him and also shortstop Grant Gibson.
