RHP Alexander Aridas (Maine South, 2027) caught our attention with how he moves down the mound at a long-limbed and high-waisted 6-foot, 133-pounds. The righty was able to repeat his delivery that featured a high leg-kick and drop/drive lower-half. His fastball played in the upper 70’s with occasional sink and was thrown for strikes over 60% of the time. His changeup showed to be a quality secondary offering, playing with heavy sinking action (avg. 4.5” IVB) and feel for the zone.
