Pennsylvania 2027s College Coaches Need to Scout

Below is a review of four prospects from Pennsylvania and one from Delaware who college coaches need to scout as soon as possible.    Beach is a nimble net minder with quick hands and superb anticipation skills. That trifecta makes it possible for Beach to serve as a brick wall between the pipes. Still, Beach's ability to keep the ball out of the net could be the second most impressive part of his game. The item that really pops about Beach's skill set is what happens after he makes a save. Once the ball is in Beach's stick, his ability to trigger fast break opportunities with smart and precise clearing / outlet passes is unique. Beach does a tremendous job of reading the opposing team's ride and then distributing to the open teammate. His ability to hit a moving target with a long outlet pass is impressive. Beach has also shown that he will not hesitate to advance the ball up the field himself and then unleash a laser to a waiting attack / midfielder in the offensive end.             Plain and simple, Fry is a creative playmaker. Fry can play midfield or attack. He excels in the open field as well as in 6 on 6 action. In both situations Fry can pick apart a defense with his distribution skills or his shooting. In 6 on 6 action Fry has proven that he can initiate the offense or operate off-ball. Fry has the speed, shake and physicality to get downhill, run through stick checks and then score in close. He can also score via step downs from all over the offensive half. His ability to work on the wing, up top or from X makes Fry extremely difficult to defend. Fry is an inventive passer who frequently catches opposing defenses sleeping with his skip passes and dimes to the backside. As a bonus to his unbelievable offensive skills, Fry has flashed the ability to drop back and play respectable defense.       Hilty is a stock rising prospect out of western Pennsylvania who has displayed incredible versatility. Over the last few months, Hilty has proven that he can play SSDM, LSM and even offensive midfield at a high-level. Obviously that type of positional versatility requires extraordinary athleticism and speed. Hilty possesses both of those items as well as impressive stick skills and a high IQ. On defense, Hilty doggedly pursues ball carriers in open space. At LSM or SSDM, he is a menacing on-ball presence who shuts down dodges, forcing the offensive player to turn multiple times. Hilty is a serious offensive threat when he on the fast break. College coaches will love Hilty's ability to fire on net or drop a dime to a teammate while running full speed. In 6 on 6 action, Hilty can get downhill in a flash and then rip sidearm or overhand shots.               This agile and high IQclose defender can shut off the opposing team's No. 1 option for an entire game. Pacitti's polished footwork is a major reason he can shutdown elite offensive players. Pacitti is a fantastic team defender too. His well-timed slides and double teams frequently cause turnovers. Pacitti has also displayed a tremendous ability to disrupt passing / shooting lanes with his stick. When he is the on-ball defender, his timely pokes and lifts generate turnovers. In close, Pacitti will not hesitate to take the body to snuff out a scoring opportunity. Pacitti's smart and precise passes make him a positive contributor in the clearing game.                  Schaffer is an athletic and fast short stick with a non-stop motor. Those assets enable Schaffer to harass ball carriers in open space for long stretches. He can also play a physical style of SSDM where he moves offensive players off their dodging path with a body check or a well-timed crowbar. Schaffer's stick is extremely active. His crafty pokes and slaps keep constant pressure on opposing player's hands. Once Schaffer has caused a turnover, he is quick to vacuum up the ground ball and then race down field. Schaffer also excels at picking up GBs in a crowd and then clearing the ball. Schaffer is a plus player in the transition game too. His field vision, quick decision making and stick skills make him a fantastic distributor while on the run.
