Billy Batson: LHP, (2024) Canterbury, CT. 6-foot-4, 165-pound lengthy long build. Above average projectable on the mound, using a long loose arm action he showed lightning arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher who shows easy effort. Downhill in line shoulders with a strong balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 81-82 mph; had sinking late action and both sides of the plate control. (Max spin 1717; Avg 1597). His changeup (77-78) had glove side control and fading swing and miss action. His 11/5 slider (71-72) had tilt late action and glove side control. (Max spin 2128; Avg 2013). Love the projection and feel he has for pitching.
is a 6-foot-4, 165-pound left-handed pitching prosect. On the mound, Batson uses a long, high ¾ arm slot that produces a fastball that sits 77-79 MPH (Max spin 1712; Avg 1615) with some late arm side run. The delivery is simple, easy and in line. He gets to a consistent balance point and lands square with a clean finish. Batson also featured a 12/6 curveball (64-66 MPH) (Max spin 2191; Avg 2082) and a late, fading changeup (72-73 MPH).
