Fox (Lockport) is an intriguing arm in the soon-to-be senior class. He stands in a projectable 6-foot, 160-pound frame with seemingly more to come. Out of a stretch-only delivery, Fox showed a clean delivery with a long and loose arm action. His fastball sat in the low-80s throughout, and he turned to a mid-70s changeup often, showing feel to throw it for strikes. Fox also mixed in a curveball at 65-66 mph with gradual 11/5 shape. He threw a complete game shutout in his outing.

RHP Matthew Fox (Lockport) is another 2025 who earned a mention from the event. The wiry 6-foot, 160-pound right-hander has a long arm that works loose, sat 82-83 mph with control of the zone and showed feel for a three-pitch mix.
