Metz showcased premium arm talent with a 6-foot-3, 205 pound frame to match. The Indiana recruit sat 92-93 mph with the fastball, touching 93.8 on his best bullet. Metz moves down the slope with a purpose, looking the part of a next-level power arm with the stuff to go along with it. The projectable, athletic right-hander is able to get his offspeed to both sides, getting to the glove side with a shorter, 79-80 mph slider and fading an 83-85 mph changeup. His fastball command was inconsistent during this look, however the frame + arm quickness is undeniable and will keep him near the top of the class.
