Peyton
Robidoux

Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. This was surely one of the biggest surprises of PBR Showdown, but not because we didn’t know him. Last fall at the UGA Campus Tour we got to see his athleticism and overall ability as a position player. He had plenty of feel on the mound but has taken a big jump in velocity over the past 8 months, causing every pitch in his arsenal to play up. He’s retained that pitchability with ease, and now has arrived as a serious D1 prospect on the hill. He showed very impressive composure on the bump, pitching his way out of multiple situations with baserunners on. Peyton’s feel for an extremely advanced CH he can throw in any count causes many hitters to waste their AB’s with weak contact. His true high spin FB worked in the 2350 range and stayed above barrels consistently, also showing effectiveness down in the zone arriving on a steep plane. The ball comes out of his hand very easily and you can tell he’s a natural pronator by the following the action of his hand after release. He has a large frame but looks much younger than his age physically, foreshadowing some extra projection to go along with his standout athleticism. For 6-4-3 to start him in a playoff game shows their confidence in him with the game on the line, and speaks volumes to us as scouts. Robidoux is only at the ground floor of his eventual ceiling on the bump, and Whitefield has themselves an ace to follow up the departure of Brayden May to the SEC.
