Brody Root, Ida S. Baker High School (FL), 2028
Positional Profile: RHP/SS
Body: 6-1, 160-pounds. High-waisted, lanky frame with plenty of projection remaining. Lean build with long levers and room to continue adding strength. Projects well physically moving forward.
Delivery: Efficient mover on the mound with a controlled operation. Works down the slope under balance and repeats actions well. Athletic delivery that allows him to stay online to the plate.
Arm Action: RH. Shorter arm path with noticeable whip through release. Works from an over-the-top slot and delivers the baseball with ease. Clean, repeatable arm action that creates deception and extension out front.
FB: T85, 83-85 mph. Fastball showed quality riding life through the zone with arm-side movement. Pitch played well at the top of the zone and consistently showed traits that allowed it to miss barrels. Primary offering with present effectiveness. T2140, 1995 average rpm.
SL: 70-74 mph. Slider showed sharp bite with late action. Pitch featured quality shape and was effective at generating uncomfortable swings. Consistently one of his better secondary offerings during the look. T2182, 2066 average rpm.
CH: 74-76 mph. Changeup showed quality depth and maintained arm-speed consistency. Effective off-speed offering that created separation from the fastball and generated disruption to timing. Present feel for the pitch with continued upside. T1607, 1508 average rpm.
