Game Performance

Notes

Comments

6/03/26
One of the younger arms in attendance, Evan looked comfortable competing against an older group and continued to show why he is one of Arizona's more intriguing 2028 prospects. The left hander worked 88-90 mph while touching 90 mph and demonstrated advanced feel for multiple pitches. His fastball showed quality movement characteristics, while both the breaking ball and slider flashed the potential to become reliable secondary offerings. The combination of present velocity, feel, and projection is impressive for a player his age. As strength and experience continue to build, Evan will become a significant name in Arizona's 2028 class.
