6/20/23

OF/C Ethan Highfill (Sandburg, 2024) has a strong 6-foot-1,183-pound frame and showed the ability to hit to all parts of the field in BP while recording a max exit velocity of 94.3 mph. He also got on the mound and worked with an uptempo, side-saddle delivery that moved athletically downhill. His arm was long and aggressive from a ¾ slot. Highfill worked a four-pitch mix with the fastball sitting 82-83 mph, topping at 83.6 mph with ride through the zone. The slider was sharp and played well to the glove side while the curveball is developing with gradual break, and the circle-changeup stayed down in the zone.
