QUICK HITS: PITCHERS 📝
|
Wade Hill 3B / RHP / Regents School of Oxford, MS / 20292029 RHP Wade Hill (Regents School of Oxford) | 6-foot-1, 196 pounds. Hill was one of the bright spots at the event, leading the class in multiple categories and showing the kind of arm talent that immediately grabs your attention. The right-hander topped out at 92.4 mph with his fastball, showcasing a big arm and plenty of present velocity. The secondary arsenal is still developing, but there were encouraging signs. Showed good shape to his changeup with the ability to kill spin and create separation, while the curveball continues to take shape as he works to gain consistency and command. The fastball is the headliner right now, but there's plenty of room for the overall arsenal to evolve as he gains experience and refines his secondary offerings. Hill brings a strong physical presence and a big arm to Mississippi's 2029 class. Definitely a right-hander worth following closely as his pitching development continues. |

Brady Mann RHP / 3B / Florence High School, MS / 20302030 RHP Brady Mann (Florence HS) | 6-foot, 200 pounds. Mann brings a strong, durable frame to the mound with quick arm action and a fastball that has reached 85 mph. He shows good arm speed and a solid foundation to build from, with the fastball leading the way in his current arsenal. The right-hander continues to make strides with his secondary offerings, gaining consistency with the changeup, curveball, and slider. The curveball and slider are particularly encouraging, showing significant differences in shape and giving him two distinct breaking-ball looks to work with. As he continues to refine the feel and command of his entire mix, there is room for the overall profile to take another step forward. Mann has the physical foundation, arm action, and developing pitch mix to make him a big-time follow in the 2030 class.

Andrew Shell RHP / 1B / Regents School of Oxford, MS / 20292029 Andrew Shell RHP/1B (Regents School of Oxford) | 6-foot-4, 204 pounds. Shell is a long, projectable right-hander who continues to show signs of the upside that caught our attention the first time we saw him at a Rising Stars event. We came away encouraged by the physical tools and overall projection, and he's now beginning to show the velocity we felt was on its way. Shell reached 83 mph with his fastball on Sunday, an encouraging step forward for a young arm with plenty of physical maturity still ahead. His long frame, room to continue adding strength, and overall arm talent point toward additional velocity gains as he develops. The secondary arsenal remains a work in progress, with continued consistency and feel being important areas of development moving forward. However, the foundation is there, and the fastball progression is an encouraging sign of what's potentially ahead. A definite big-arm follow in the 2029 class with considerable physical projection and plenty of upside remaining. |

Charles Campbell RHP / OF / Oxford, MS / 20302030 Charles Campbell RHP/OF (Oxford HS) | 6-foot, 176 pounds. Campbell was one of the big bright spots of Sunday's event, showing plenty of promise with a still-developing frame and an impressive foundation on the mound. The right-hander already runs his fastball up to 85 mph, giving him a strong starting point as he continues to mature physically. He pairs the fastball with a solid secondary mix, highlighted by a changeup in the 73-75 mph range and a big-breaking curveball that shows plenty of potential as he continues to refine his command. The ability to already miss bats with his fastball while showing feel for multiple secondary offerings makes him an exciting young arm to follow. There's plenty of development ahead, both physically and in the overall refinement of his arsenal, but the early signs are certainly encouraging. A major bright spot from Sunday's event and a name to keep firmly on the radar in the 2030 class.

Uriah Loman RHP / OF / Hartfield Academy, MS / 20292029 Uriah Loman, 2029 RHP/OF (Hartfield Academy) | 6-foot-3, 182 pounds. Loman is another young arm with the potential to develop into a big-time arm down the road. The right-hander brings plenty of projection with his long levers, a developing frame, and a repeatable delivery that allows him to work through the zone with good rhythm. He reached 83 mph with his fastball on Sunday, giving us another encouraging look at the arm talent and future velocity potential. The secondary arsenal is still coming along, but he showed some promising traits with his changeup, doing an excellent job of killing spin and registering just 1,258 RPM. He also showed signs of a developing slider that will be worth monitoring as he continues to build out his pitch mix. With his physical projection, delivery, and athletic background, there's plenty to like about where things could go. Add in the genetics in the family, and Loman is a name we're going to be watching closely. Another potential big arm on the way and a definite must-follow in the 2029 class. |

Sam Dickerson OF / RHP / Oxford High School, MS / 20292029 Sam Dickerson RHP/OF (Oxford HS) | 6-foot-1, 184 pounds. Another quality arm coming through the Oxford program, Dickerson showed plenty to like on Sunday and continues to establish himself as an exciting name in the 2029 class. The right-hander ran his fastball up to 88 mph while showing a solid feel for the strike zone and the ability to work with his stuff. He pairs the fastball with a changeup at 75-78 mph that features good arm-side action while maintaining fastball arm speed, giving him a quality secondary offering to build around. He also showed a developing curveball that adds another dimension to an already solid three-pitch mix. With the ability to fill up the zone, create movement on his changeup, and continue developing a third offering, there's plenty of foundation to build on. Another exciting arm in the 2029 class and a name to keep on the radar as he continues to develop.

Jesse Boozer LHP / 1B / DeSoto Central, MS / 20302030 Jesse Boozer LHP/1B (DeSoto Central HS) | 6-foot-1, 155 pounds. Boozer is an exciting young left-hander who could develop into a big-time arm as his body continues to mature. He's still early in his physical development, currently running his fastball up to 78 mph, but there's plenty of room for growth and reason to believe the velocity will continue to climb over the next calendar year. One of the encouraging parts of his early profile is his feel for the changeup, showing the ability to maintain fastball arm action while creating separation in velocity. He also shows signs of a big-breaking curveball that has plenty of room to develop as he continues refining his overall arsenal. The combination of left-handed projection, early feel for his secondary stuff, and a frame that should continue to fill out gives us plenty to watch moving forward. We're looking forward to seeing how much he progresses as the physical maturity catches up with the arm talent. An exciting young lefty in the 2030 class who is definitely worth keeping an eye on. |

Jack Northcutt RHP / SS / Starkville High School, MS / 20292029 Jack Northcutt RHP/SS (Starkville HS) | 5-foot-11, 167 pounds. Northcutt showed plenty to like on Sunday, flashing a quick arm with excellent looseness through his arm path and the ability to generate quality velocity. The right-hander sat 81-83 mph with his fastball, reaching 84 mph, and showed the kind of arm speed that makes him an exciting follow moving forward. His changeup was another standout, showing an excellent ability to kill spin while working in the 70-72 mph range, creating quality separation off the fastball. He also showed a curveball with very good shape, giving him a solid foundation of secondary offerings to continue developing. There's a lot to like about the arm action, overall looseness, and pitch mix, with plenty of room for further development. A quality arm on the rise and a yet another definite must-follow in the 2029 class. |

Rhett Fleming 3B / SS / New Hope, MS / 20292029 Rhett Fleming RHP/INF (New Hope HS) | 5-foot-11, 164 pounds. Fleming is another young arm who showed plenty of upside, with a frame that suggests there's more velocity on the way despite already reaching 84 mph with his fastball. He showed good arm-side run on the fastball, giving hitters a different look while creating movement through the zone. His changeup was particularly impressive, showing advanced feel and the ability to kill spin with rates as low as 1,400-1,700 RPM while working in the 75-76 mph range. He also mixed in a tight slider at 71-72 mph, adding another quality offering to an already promising three-pitch mix. As he continues to develop physically and build on his overall quickness, there's reason to believe the stuff will continue to take another step forward. The combination of fastball movement, feel for the changeup, and a developing slider gives him plenty to build on. Another quality arm to add to the growing list of must-follows in the 2029 class. |

Patrick Southerland LHP / OF / Warren Central, MS / 20292029 Patrick Southerland LHP/OF (Warren Central HS) | 6-foot-1, 193 pounds.

He ran his fastball up to 81 mph while showing a solid feel for the strike zone and the ability to work with his stuff. He also showed a developing changeup in the 71-73 mph range, giving him a secondary offering to continue building around. The breaking-ball mix was another positive, showing two distinct shapes between his curveball and slider, providing different looks and giving him multiple ways to attack hitters. With his physical build, feel for the zone, and ability to show distinct breaking-ball profiles, there's a solid foundation in place. As he continues to develop physically and refine the overall consistency of his arsenal, there's reason to believe more velocity is ahead. Another solid lefty on the rise with plenty of development to look forward to in the 2029 class. |
