Zach Strickland, MARANATHA HIGH SCHOOL (CA), 2025 University of California-Los Angeles Positional Profile: RHP/OF Arm speed with present stuff and feel for the strike presents a tantalizing starters profile RHP Body: 6-2, 191-pounds. Strong lower 1/2 with athleticism to frame and room to add strength Delivery: Easy mover down the mound who stays taller in the delivery which creates leverage throughout the delivery. Stays online with front side into foot strike and uses his lower 1/2 effectively with an aggressive hip turn that allows his arm to work. Finishes over or around his front leg to control his delivery while repeating effectively. Arm Action: RH. Longer smooth arm path which works down and behind his body with fast arm speed. Works to a high 3/4 slot with whippy loose delivery that features minimal arm recoil in the finish. Arm speed is easily achieved with room to potentially continue adding more. Repeats on all pitches. FB: T96, 91-94 mph. FB is explosive out of the hand with ride through the zone that will get swing/miss in zone while picking up chase above the zone. T2403, 2226 average rpm. CB: 68-69 mph. Power breaking ball with downward bite and horizontal break to the glove side. Swing/miss offering which he also controls within the strike zone. T2483, 2436 average rpm. SL: 76-79 mph. Sharp tight SLD with both horizontal and vertical break with power. Swing/miss offering. T2609, 2554 average rpm. ATH: 26.50 max vertical.
