Caden Crowell

Having climbed up to being the #5 left-hander in the class after a strong spring performance, Crowell kicked off his senior summer circuit in impressive fashion. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound southpaw came out flooding the zone at 90-92 from near ¾ slot while collecting swords with a sharp slider 80-81 and flashing feel for a slowed down changeup at 82-83. A premium athlete on the bump who fielded his position with the grace expected from a basketball standout, Crowell was ultra confident and polished as he worked exclusively out of the stretch while generating a plethora of whiffs in the zone early before expanding late. Supreme mound confidence blanketed the outing and the ease of operation held strong starter upside. A real weapon in this look, Crowell’s tunneled slider has ticked up a grade over the past year, and should it maintain that upward trend, there is a chance that he rises even higher in the class.
