Caden
Carroll

6 foot 3, 190 pounds with a large frame with long levers and much room to fill into his body. It’s a timed up, well connected all stretch delivery that helps him repeat his nasty stuff over and over again. His hands & lift knee solidify that timing from the 1st moment he moves- going up together, and breaking at the exact same moment. He sits into his back leg very well with a slight bend from start to finish. This takes pressure off his arm and allows his upper half & core to connect over the rubber and fire together. All of these attributes help Caden consistently rip high spin FB’s and SLV’s, but the finishing touch is the way he rotates. His shoulders+chest+core rotate on an identical plane of his loose & lengthy L ¾ slot. This allows him to keep his hand behind the baseball on all pitches for efficient spin and movement. It gives his high spin 87-89 T91 FB (2,320-2,461) extra carry up in the zone to go with nasty run. Then comes his already A/AVG to plus SLV at 3,000-3,200 rpm, one of the most beautiful pitches I’ve ever seen. It gets up to 17 inches of horizontal break which is literally the width of the strike zone, and also 5 inches of late depth. The pitch spins like Earth & Saturn out of hand - rotating toward a RHH, then power sweeping across the zone with late depth. Very similar life on the pitch to former RP Chaz Roe, and dominated some big time hitters at our NPI Pro Case.
