Game Performance

Notes

Comments

1/28/24
Ward, already committed to Bethel College, showed an increase in velocity compared to looks in 2023, sitting 82-84 mph on his fastball. The stocky, 6-foot, 195 pound southpaw showcased a four-pitch mix, highlighted by a faded changeup that worked at 74-75 mph and two distinct breaking balls that he showed feel for.
