While the number of Tier 1 & 2 arms in this class has been minimal to this point, Charlie Herr enters after dazzling at this event and showing huge jumps. It is a pro look at 6-foot-5, 185-pounds with projection remaining and athleticism present. Moving with faster pace in a familiar delivery, Herr pitched at 90-91.5 while spinning the fastball in the 23-2400s with quality control. The sweeper is firmer, as well, now 77-79 with the same wide, sweeping shape that he's shown traditionally. He's added a short, low-80s cutter that fits the arsenal and gives him options to change pace with, and he rounds a starters' mix with an upper-70s change, a usable fourth that he goes to versus righties and lefties alike. If Herr consistently lives up to this look throughout 2026, he has a chance gain attention from the professional scouting community.
27 Charlie Herr (Homestead) walks away as the one I am most bullish on. We've kept a close eye on on Herr since his outstanding 'pen at our All-State in March, and he showed a bit of an up-tick in this look with a heater reaching 88 mph. The 6-foot-4 frame still holds ample room for strength gains and low-90s velocities feel like a safe bet in the next 12 months. Though inconsistent in this look, he flashed a well-shaped sweeper in the mid-70s that I have seen him show feel for in multiple looks. In short, Herr is one of my more bullish follows as we approach August 1st, with a real shot of developing into one of the premier right-handed arms in the class.
+ Frame: High-upside, 6-foot-3, 165 pound frame. Athletic, has upside as left-side infielder, 7.00 60 w 26.1" vertical leap. + Delivery/Arm Action: Shorter, athletic lift followed by slight drop&drive. Lands square, tends to spin off, should clean up w strength. Loose, full-circle arm works w abv avg arm speed to 3/4 slot w below-moderate length to the path. + Stuff: 83-86 FB w arm-side life spun between 22-2400. Sharp slider is best pitch w wipeout upside - plays at 70-72 w big sweep, minimal vert, and 24-2600 spin. Change is an abv avg pitch playing w fade at 73-74 w 1785 avg rpm. Showed abv avg control of OS & avg control of FB. + Summation: My first evaluation on Herr as a P was a great look & I am super bullish on the projectable righty out of Fort Wayne coming out of this event. The frame has tons of room to pack on strength that should play the velocities into the 90+ range at some point, while likely cleaning up the occasional directional issues that led to fastball misses arm-side. There is a chance for two future-plus off-speed offerings & the frame + athleticism leave starters' tabs open. Herr is a priority follow w a chance to polish into a higher-end arm.
