Armstrong

RHP Cameron Armstrong (Lincoln-Way West, 2025) drew some attention with a firm curveball at 77-78 mph and topping at 2405 rpm. Its an advanced pitch for his age, and plays up paired with an 86-87 mph fastball that showed running action.

RHP Cameron Armstrong (Providence Catholic, 2025) continues to show as one of the more clean-moving right-handers in the 2025 class. His delivery is clean, controlling tempo throughout into balance-point, dropping into his back-knee and gliding down the mound while remaining in-line to the plate, also creating notable hip/shoulder separation at foot-strike. His fastball worked in the 79-80 mph range, showing control over the zone while playing with some life to the arm-side. His changeup was his most impressive secondary offering, coming out at 74-75 mph with late/heavy fading action and feel. His breaking ball shows some promise as he is able to land it for strikes, playing off an 11/5 plane and flashing sharp action, 64-68 mph.

Two more members of the 2025 class that impressed on Monday were RHPs Cameron Armstrong (Providence Catholic) and Finn McCarty (St. Laurence). The pair of right-handers worked their fastballs up to 80 mph while navigating the strike zone to both sides. The two freshman also showed feel for a curveball/changeup combination that should help profile them as starters for this coming spring, displaying advanced feel at times for the strike zone.

Fired a complete game win for the Upper Deck Cougars in a 4-1 win over Chicago Elite during the PBR at The Rock Championships. Armstrong pounded the zone for seven innings striking out three and allowing three hits with a quality three pitch repertoire.
