I watched Ealy play baseball at Prep a few times. He was about the 6th best hitter on that team. Granted, they have multiple SEC commits, but I was never terribly impressed with his hitting.

Ealy was the #12 overall player by Perfect Game and would have been a 1st round pick if he hadn't told teams he was playing football.

quote:

Jerrion Ealy is a 2019 OF with a 5-10 192 lb. frame from Carthage, MS who attends Jackson Prep. Compact very strong and very athletic build. Outstanding runner, 6.13 in the sixty, has a sub 6.0 in him, ultra athletic and quick twitch. Dynamic raw bat speed, raw swing mechanics but unmistakable elite ability to drive the ball, big power potential from foul pole to foul pole, will benefit from more and more hitting repetitions. Very strong arm from the outfield that plays well in games, very accurate on line throws, centerfield speed and range with premium right field arm strength. Has all the tools to be an All-Star type player. Also an elite level running back and 4-star prospect in football, Mississippi FB player of the year. Good student, verbal commitment to play both sports at Mississippi. Selected to play in the 2018 Perfect Game All-American Classic.


- 99.96% in 60 time (6.13 sec)
- 94.71% in 10 spl (1.53 sec)
- 99.08% in OF arm (96 MPH)
- 84.96% in Exit Velo (91 MPH)
- 89.96% in Max Barrell Speed
- 90.17% in Impact Momentum
- 85.87% in Max Acceleration

Bottom line, dude is a tool freak



Plumlee wasn't nearly as highly regarded as a baseball player. Perfect game ranked him the #92 best incoming freshman in the SEC this year (Ealy was #1).

Ealy hit the ball well against national competition during the summer but his junior and senior year of high school he developed some bad hitting habits that brought his average down. They have corrected those and he has shortened his grip and he is hitting again like he was when he was considered one of the top prospects in the nation. In the scrimmage Saturday he got a hit into centerfield that was 99 mph off the bat On a nikhazy curveball which is his best pitch.
