Long

Kennesaw State commit. Long continues to stack up quality outings over the past calendar year, as he would open day 2 of the 16u National Championship tournament with an eye-opening start. The pitchability stood out from the jump as Long filled up all quadrants of the zone with above-average feel to land each pitch for either strikes or swing-and-miss. Standing a lean and physical 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, Long shows repeatability down the mound and works extremely fast with intent. The incoming senior would churn out 3.0 IP of no-run ball where he struck out 7. Fastball lived 90-91 (T92 MPH) with arm-side run and feel to land to either half of the plate. Showed advanced feel for spin of the slider at 76-78 with sharp, late-bite and ability to manipulate. Cutter was mixed in at 81-84 and showed east-west movement and played well off the rest of his arsenal. Changeup is a potential future advanced offering at 80-83 as Long kills spin and generates depth with ability to land it R/R at will. The polish stands out in the profile with plenty more to project upon towards a significant ceiling. Name to know.
