Athletic 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame with some present strength. Loose, easy mover on the mound with a long and clean quick arm path. His fastball sat 87-89 mph with quality spin (avg. 2407 rpm) and ride through the zone. He showed feel for both a curveball and slider - his curveball sat 74-76 mph with an average of 2645 rpm, and his slider sitting 76-77 mph with an average of 2481 rpm and an average of -19.8” of horizontal movement. Tislow’s change-up sat 82-84 mph with heavy fade to the arm-side, and he rounded out his five-pitch repertoire with an 86-88 mph sinker that averaged 18.1” of horizontal movement.

(‘24 Avon) The Lincoln Trail commit was making his first start of the year for the Orioles and was extremely dominant. Tislow would earn the win going 4 innings and scattering 3 hits, while giving up no runs no walks and punching out 10. Tislow would sit in the 83-85 range occasionally letting loose and getting 87. The FB had very late ASR and would pair that with a mid 70s breaking ball he would throw on a dime. Look for the righty to see his average velo go up a tick as the season continues on.

RHP Kade Tislow (Avon, 2024) is an uncommitted arm to know in Indiana. Listed at an athletic 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, the right-hander worked his fastball in the 83-85 mph range and set up a slurvy breaking ball in the low-70s. Attacked the zone and showed well against a tough Scout Team lineup.
