Projectable, 6-foot-2, 160 pound southpaw. Simple, repeatable delivery with high front-side creating a deceptive look as a clean arm works to an over-the-top slot. Fastball plays with carry at 82-83 mph and averaged 18" IVB & got over 20" at times. He showed tons of feel, pouring in strikes with four pitches. His changes is his best secondary, heavily pronating on it as it plays with big arm-side break at 76-77. The feel for spin has gotten better, and he showed some ability to manipulate with a tighter, 71-73 slurve and a true top-down curveball in the upper-60s. In total - this was a positive look with steady gains made since his appearance at the Midwest Super Sophomore Games last August.
Wade is the top-ranked southpaw in Indiana's freshman class, holding a lanky, projectable, 6-foot-2, 160 pound frame. The arm action is long and uninterrupted, and there is body control within an easy-effort delivery. Up to 83 mph at an event this winter, Wade worked his fastball at 79-81 at the All-State. The fastball plays up in-game due to real carry properties, showing the top IVB numbers of any freshman arm, carrying it at 20" on average (23.1" max). The velocity will continue to trend upwards and Wade shows very solid feel to subtract with a 72-74 mph changeup that reached up to 21" of horizontal, arm-side break, again the best in the class. Wade is a strikethrower with a starter's look and rounded out his three-pitch mix with a tightly-spun (2400), 68-69 mph curveball.
