Vinny Boatwright, Chico High (CA), 2027
Positional Profile: RHP/1B Tall RHP with present arm speed displayed. High spin reliever mix currently, with future upside as a starter.
Body: 6-7, 225-pounds. Long levers across lean, but imposing frame. Solid proportions throughout the frame, with potential for added strength.
Delivery: Starts with hands at the belly button, showing minimal movement before syncing with the front leg. Utilizes a high leg kick with an inward hip turn, sinking slightly into the back knee before driving down the mound with length to the stride. Exhibits great feel for blocking with the plant leg and works with a repeatable delivery that gathers tempo as the stride lands.
Arm Action: RH. Displays a full arm path that initially works behind the body before creating depth in line with the frame. Arm action is methodical early, then accelerates at foot strike to generate present arm speed. Works up to a 3/4 slot with a consistent release point, finishing with heavy recoil upon release.
FB: T91, 87-90 mph. High spin FB with great life out of the hand. Lives in zone and effective on the edges for called strikes. Showcases late arm-side movement, with ability to create weak contact running in on RHH. Misses barrels when elevated and can generate whiffs, displaying good ride/carry. T2419, 2232 average rpm.
SL: 75-78 mph. Tight, late breaking SL that works well off FB plane. Shows more sweeping action when thrown to glove side. Generates swing-and-miss against both sides. Good back foot offering vs. LHH. T2477, 2255 average rpm.
