CLASS OF 2025

Collins turned in a quality start in his first appearance as a junior, exiting with a 9-4 lead over #1 ranked Carmel. An athletic, 6-foot, 180 pound southpaw - Collins shows body control and athleticism within his delivery that allows a quick left arm to follow. The top-ranked uncommitted lefty in Indiana's junior class sat 85-88 mph on a fastball with arm-side run, a pitch that he was able to command to his arm-side. It was encouraging to see his slider firmer in this look, now working at 77-80 with short, tight break. The slider has taken a step up and he showed a fading, upper-70s change, as well. The arm stroke works with an athletic sling to a 3/4 slot, and he shows above-average command for his three-pitch mix.

The top-ranked uncommitted southpaw in the class is LHP Lucas Collins (Ft. Wayne Dwenger). Athletic at 6-foot, 185 pounds - Collins turns his arm over with quickness to produce an 86-88, touching 88.7 mph fastball. Collins moves exceptionally well, creating hip-to-shoulder separation within the delivery, and is an above-average strikethrower. Collins 'pulled the string' on a 74-76 mph changeup, his best offspeed offering at the moment. There is some feel to spin, showing two breaking balls, a shorter, 76-80 mph slider and a 1/7 shaped curveball at 73-74 mph.
