08/10/2008 - College PREP - Gaffney, SC Jimmy has really improved his baseball abilities since we last saw him. Arm strength has improved the most, now showing near pro ability. He topped out at 88 mph on the mound and his arm shows carry, life and accuracy across the diamond. Fielding ability is near above average displaying a sure glove action. At the plate, Jimmy shows outstanding ability and above average power. Bat speed is a plus and shows a consistent feel for the barrel. On the mound, Appleby continues to shine and show improvement. Off speed pitches now are showing near above average with solid command. Jimmy will catch the eyes of all the scouts and college coaches. If development continues, he will be a prospect.
