Ty
Floyd

Getting the starting nod for game two, Floyd earned the W with 5.1 innings of one run ball. He allowed four hits and struck out seven while not issuing any free passes. His 92-95 mph fastball had plenty of life, showing plus late sink at times and generating handfuls of swing/miss. He showed limited feel for a 74-75 mph well below average breaking ball. His 79-81 changeup was fringe-quality, and was effective by slowing the Vandy bats. A sophomore who is draft-eligible by age for this summer's draft, the 6-foot-2 right hander would likely benefit from another year in Baton Rouge to hone his breaking ball which would elevate his current draft value. For the season Floyd is 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 48 innings pitched.

LSU recruit, currently ranked No. 82 nationally, No. 3 in Georgia’s 2020 class. 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-handed pitcher, lean, athletic build. Topped out at 94 in the first inning, sitting 91-92. In the second, worked 88-93 with his fastball and 88-90 in the third inning. Threw a high volume of strikes with his fastball.. Breaking ball is inconsistent in shape, mostly early break in the mid-70s. Possesses plus arm speed. Soft stab at hand break but gets it up and out consistently.

Floyd is set to take his talent to Baton Rouge if the MLB draft does not get in his way. At SunTrust Park, he worked 90-93 mph with his fastball, showing solid feel for a changeup, too. Floyd’s athleticism on the mound will bring a bunch of scouts through Rockmart this spring and, if he can answer questions about his breaking ball, he has a chance to make a strong move up draft boards by June.
