RHP Shane Funk had a huge summer on the showcase circuit, but fell back all spring before picking up momentum in mid-May at the Florida high school all-star game in Sebring, getting his velocity to a season-best peak of 93 mph and showing a power curveball. His fastball velocity was solid all spring at 88-92, but he wasn't throwing his curveball for strikes. He's capable of throwing harder but needs to add deception or life to his fastball because he was getting hit hard when he was behind in the count all spring. At times, Funk gets too mechanical with his delivery, which can happen for a teenager with a 6-foot-6, 225-pound body.
