One other upside 2024 right-hander to keep an eye on is AJ Davis  of Morton. Davis has a long-levered 6-foot-5, 185-pound stature, with plenty of room for continued physical development. Davis’ delivery still has some raw tendencies due to his long levers, but there is some whip in the arm and his fastball sat 80-82 mph despite that. Davis rounded out his three-pitch mix with a 66-68 mph curveball and low-70s changeup, creating the pieces of an arsenal that could mold him into a traditional starter's profile as he continues to improve and mature.

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-3, 160-pounds. Upside frame; long, lanky levers.
Delivery: Squared start working from the middle of the rubber; quick pace, side step to tall balance point, high knee lift hip turn, slight shoulder dip/close. Drops and drives down the mound with good momentum, shoulders mostly level, works on line though opens a little early and lands in an open position. Athleticism in controlled finish.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm circle; loose, quick arm speed from a 3/4 slot.
FB: T80, 77-79 mph. Generated some of the event's highest average horizontal action (17.1 inches). Flashed hard through the zone, strikes. Projects to induce ground balls.
CB: 63-63 mph. 11/5 shape with good depth, flashed late, thrown with the feel to locate under the zone.
CH: 69-69 mph. Slight deceleration with similar, large arm-side run.
