6-foot-1, 185-pound right-hander showed well in his first outing of the weekend. Paxton (Normal University, 2025 oakland Commit) had a clean motion with a whippy arm from a high ¾ slot. The slider worked well off of his fastball throughout his outing. The right hander had a heavy fastball that topped at 89 mph, sitting 85-88 mph. Paxton used his slider in every count sitting 75-78 mph.The slider froze many hitters when Paxson was ahead in the count. Also used a change up in various counts that was 77-79 mph. Paxson struck out eight batters through three innings pitched allowing only one hit and zero earned runs. In addition to his outing, Paxson swung a loud bat that was consistently on barrel all weekend.

Verbally committed to Oakland.

4/15/24

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 161 in Illinois’ junior class. Stands in a strong frame with athleticism at 6-foot, 181-pounds. Started on the mound for U-High and struck out two. Although the results weren’t there, it was still an impressive look at Paxson. Simple and clean mover on the mound, has a loose arm with aggression out front. His fastball sat 85-88 mph with ride through the zone. His most impressive pitch of the day was his 68-71 mph curveball that had 11/5 shape with quality spin (2300-2600 rpm), showing the ability to throw it for strikes and the ability to create swing-and-miss with the pitch. An uncommitted name-to-know in the state’s junior class.

4/03/24

Uncommitted. Paxson had an impressive week on the mound and at the plate. In their 9-0 win over Washington, Paxson threw a complete game shutout with 11 strikeouts, one walk and one hit allowed. He also went 4-for-8 at the plate with two doubles and an RBI.

3/20/24

Uncommitted. Started on the mound against Barron Collier and threw four innings, struck out five, walked three and allowed one hit.
