One of the more polished arms on the day from a mechanical standpoint was RHP Anthony Cantelo (St. Rita, 2024). With a fluid and controlled tempo, Cantelo moves with a clean drop/drive lower-half from balance point, remaining in-line down the mound when he strides out. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound right-hander worked his fastball in the 80-81 mph range, playing with running action to his arm-side. He maintains arm-speed on his changeup to create deception, playing with some fading action at 73-75 mph and thrown for strikes.
