Conner
Hogan

Uncommitted. Stands out before he even steps onto the field thanks to his ultra-large 6-foot-8, 230-pound frame with well-proportioned strength. Hogan impressed on the mound throughout his outing with a quality three-pitch mix and mature mound presence. The southpaw’s arm plays long and loose out of the glove into a ¾ slot. Down the mound, Hogan moves with a fluid tempo, working into a slight drop/drive lower-half from balance point into a long stride that remains in-line. His fastball hovered around the 80 mph mark, sinking to the arm-side with notable glove-side feel, also reaching the plate with added perceived velocity due to his stride length and close release. His breaking ball was his off-speed of choice this day, going to it often and possessing feel both for strikes and under the zone, 1/7 shape with sharp action at 71-73 mph. He also displayed feel for a fading changeup at 73-75 mph, thrown off a near-identical fastball release/arm action and sinking to his arm-side. Highly intriguing southpaw with upside to keep tabs on. 

6-foot-8, 230-pound, extra-large, imposing, physical left-handed pitcher. Coming off an impressive 2021 sophomore campaign. Started and picked up the win in the first start of the season going four innings, scattering four hits, one run, no walks and five strikeouts. Controls his body and repeats his delivery extremely well given his frame. Loose, clean arm stroke, high ¾ slot. Fastball plays clean out of the hand, holds plane and plays harder than the 78-81 mph velocity due to the extension he gets down the mound. Showed a three-pitch mix throughout including a curveball at 71 mph and changeup at 76 mph. Intimidating at-bat with a high-ceiling and seemingly much more in the tank.
