UNCOMMITTED STANDOUTS
Parker Rhodes, RHP, 2025, Greenfield-Central HS
There is a lot to like with the athletic, 6-foot-1, 170 pound right-hander. Rhodes has an athletic delivery paired with tons of arm speed, clean and quick arm action, and an interesting low ¾ - ¾ arm slot. The fastball sat 88-91 mph with ride and run, playing well up in the zone and to his arm side of the plate. His slider tunnels well off the fastball, a 77-79 mph sweeper-type that flashed plus potential in this look, but overall was inconsistent. Rhodes also showed a 73-75 mph curveball that had the same sweeping action as the SL, but the shape was a bit bigger. The uncommitted ‘25 made a couple mistakes over the middle of the plate in this look leading to XBH, but the arm talent is undeniable.
