SO.RHP Ethan Faith (Jacobs) did not disappoint in his turn on the hill with arguably the loudest showing of the day. It’s a long-loose levered 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame with room to add. High leg-kick while staying stacked through his backside down the mound that winds up a full arm swing into a whippy ¾ slot with some noticeable effort. Fastball plays up in the zone in the 89-94 mph range while setting an event best 95.5 mph and averaging 14” of IVB. Slider tunnels well with a shorter-sharp break while throwing it for strikes in the 77-79 mph range and a changeup to round out the arsenal at 83-84 mph with 12.7” of horizontal movement. Faith looks to garner some attention heading into the fall and summer circuits. Raw potential with chance for more jumps as he continues to fill out the frame. N2K

One of the more intriguing looks on the mound came from RHP Ethan Faith (Jacobs, 2025). Standing 6-foot-2, 165-pounds, Faith still has all sorts of room to add on strength in the coming years. The right-hander worked exclusively out of the stretch with a wide base and front foot closer to third, creating some deception immediately before moving with a drop drive lower-half down the mound. His arm is long and loose out of the glove, transitioning into a ¾ slot. His fastball sat comfortably in the 77-80 mph range, topping out at 81 mph with heavy sinking action (T20.3” HM). His best secondary offering was a cutter at 71-73 mph, playing with sharp 10/4 action and late sweep - acting more like a slider but is absolutely a pitch he should keep in his arsenal moving forward. Lastly, he went to a curveball at 65-66 mph, kept down in the zone with 11/5 shape.
