UTIL Austin Aldrige (Seneca, 2024) is an uncommitted senior that gave an intriguing look over the weekend. He’s athletically built at 5-foot-11, 160-pounds with plenty of room to add on strength in the coming years. He flashed some impressive tools throughout the event, starting with his showing on the mound, as he ran his fastball up to 86 mph with an average IVB of 15.3 (T18.5). He can spin both his breaking balls at an above-average clip, with his slider spinning around 2500-2600 RPM and his curveball coming in around 2200-2300 RPM, landing both offerings for strikes 50% of the time. He also flashed some feel for his changeup, playing in the low-70s with mostly straight action.
