CLASS OF 2028

The southpaw showed off the pitchability in a strong look against Alabama. Struck out 3 while only allowing 1 earned run across 2.0 IP. Athletic mover at 6-foot-0, 165-pounds with a loose, repeatable arm stroke from a three-quarters slot and a velo jump seems imminent with added physicality. Ability to tunnel the fastball/slider mix effectively and kept batters off-balance throughout. Advanced command of the fastball and feel to land on the outer half to both RHH and LHH with glove-side cut at 86-88. Sharp slider at 77-79 and creates tilt with feel to spin at 2600 + RPM consistently. Sparingly mixed in a changeup as well at 81 with tumble. Litschke earned the ace role this past spring and pitched at a high-level across the entire circuit in nearly every look. A busy August 1st and so forth appears to be looming with plenty of upside to tap into.

Evan Litschke was Green’s counterpart in the matchup between Braves Scout Team 14u and Seams Baseball, and he was nearly just as impressive. Litschke is a left handed arm with easy, smooth, and very repeatable mechanics. He gets very easy velocity on his fastball, sitting 81-82 mph and touching 84. He works his off-speed pitches very well too, with a high spin curveball sitting 70-73 that he likes to use often, paired with a spin killing changeup that seems to be very developed for his age. Litschke is a wiry 5’11” 145 lbs, so he has plenty of room to grow and gain much more velocity over the next few years. Pair this with his advanced pitching ability and great mechanics, and he could become one of the top arms in his class. High follow.
