I like the way that RHP/SS Jacob Morris (New Palestine) has progressed on the mound since looks last fall. A wiry, athletic, 6-foot, 180 pounder with body control - Morris uses a loose, clean arm swing that whips to a 3/4 release point. The two-way performer sat 85-87 on his heater, touching 87.5 mph on his best fastball. His breaking ball spins at 70-72 mph with two-plane shape, and he also showed a mid-70s changeup. Morris should continue to elevate himself as a pitching prospect as he gets more mound experience, but the arm talent stood out and he is a '26 that we will monitor throughout the season.
