Notes

2/24/21

Athletic 6-foot-3, 195-pound build. Kirkwood CC commit. Simpson showcased a level swing plane from the right-side of the plate with above-average bat speed, posting an exit velocity of 106 mph. Mid/pull approach with hard line-drives off the bat during BP. Raw mechanically at times but makes up for it with his natural athleticism. In the outfield, good footwork and reliable glove making online 94 mph throws with carry and accuracy. 6.62 runner in the 60. On the mound, simple low-effort delivery out of the stretch that repeats well. Clean, compact arm action from a high-¾ release slot. Fastball shows arm-side run and sink at 86-89 mph, spinning at 2126 rpm. Slider has small 11/5 cut action with flashes of depth, 75-77 mph spun at 2169 rpm. Deceptive changeup has late diving action, 78-80 mph.

3/03/19

6-foot-2, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. Projectable arm to follow in the Iowa 2021 class. Lean athletic frame, short turn into athletic balance point, longer arm swing, good extension out front, easy effort in delivery. Simpson has a live arm delivering fastballs at 81-82 mph on downhill plane for strikes. Tends to show breaking ball early; but is thrown with good hand speed which will cause hitters to chase the arm for swing and miss. Late run and sink on changeup with above avg. action to arm-side of plate.
