Lucas
Bormann

RHP Lucas Bormann (York, 2023) is a name to keep tabs on this coming spring after his impressive showing on Monday. Bormann stands at 6-foot-1, 160-pounds, with plenty of room for added strength in the future. He works extremely loose down the mound with a drop/drive lower-half before striding slightly across his body, creating a tough angle on right-handed hitters. Bormann filled up the zone with his fastball, reaching up to 85.6 mph with an average IVB of 18 inches, showing control to both sides of the plate. His slider plays with slurvy 10/4 shape, thrown at 72-75 mph with some feel for the bottom of the zone. His final offering was a changeup that plays from a near identical release point to his fastball, diving to the inner-half of the plate at 78-79 mph.
