OF Sam Driscoll (Mt. Zion) is an upside bat that stood out to our staff over the weekend. He has quick, whippy hands through the zone (23.6 mph avg; T24.2 mph) that work into a flat path, looking to keep the ball on a line up the middle and to his pull-side with a max EV of 92.1 mph, highly athletic look that has a chance to pop in the next couple years. Athletic mover with a 6.97 in the 60, fluid footwork in the outfield with steady hands, attacks the baseball. Well above-average arm-strength, topping out at 91 mph from a crow hop.
Lean, athletic 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame. Took the mound for the Braves in a conference game against a tough Mahomet-Seymour squad, not allowing an earned run over four innings of work. Athletic and controlled operation, hands rock over head to start, sits into his backside and stays on it downhill. Short strider, works closed and across his body some. Long arm swing finishes out of a loose, easy high ¾ slot. Fastball comes out clean, touching 85 mph a few times early, pitching in the low-to-mid-80s throughout with late arm-side run. Confident in both his secondaries, landed a slurvey breaking ball for strikes at 69-72 and turned over a changeup to right-handed hitters at 74-76 mph. Threw all three of his pitches for strikes. Also a varsity basketball player and golfer at Mt. Zion. An athletic sophomore southpaw to follow that recently debuted inside our updated 2025 rankings.
Driscoll hosts an athletic build at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Took the bump on Thursday against an older age-level and did more than hold his own. Clean mechanics with a short draw from the glove and whippy arm action. Fastball sat 78-80 mph, T82 mph, however Driscoll has plenty left in the tank. Kept hitters off-balanced with a breaking ball that plays with depth. Final line: 4 IP, 1 H, 6 K.
