Second Look : I saw Pennington versus HCC rival Brownsburg. The velocity ticked up a little in this look, he came out 90-92 mph in the first and touched 93 once. He sat 89-91 the rest of his three innings of work. The pitch played with arm-side run and flashed some real sink at times. The breaking ball was less sharp in this look, playing with a little more depth than we’ve seen recently at 76-79 mph. He showed solid feel for a 82-84 mph sinking changeup to both righties and lefties. Overall, the fastball control and breaking ball consistency has been a touch less than we’ve seen of him in the past but we love the athlete, and the present stuff paired with solid feel. Also, he is one of the best competitors in the class…

(‘25, Avon) The uncommitted junior showed off some superb athleticism for the orioles in their final game of the Warrior Classic. Pennington played CF for the Orioles but also plays the infield and pitches. He showed off some explosive rotation and quick hands in turning on a FB for a RBI double. A very physical athlete the ‘25 grad has also been up to 90 on the bump and sits in the high 80s. He should contribute greatly at the top of the order and on the bump before making noise on the summer circuit.

‘25 RHP/INF Wyatt Pennington (Avon HS) offers intriguing athleticism and was the top arm at the event. The 6-foot, 175 pounder has a clean, quick arm that comes from a ¾ arm slot, producing a mid-80s fastball that topped at 88 mph. Pennington attacks the opposition with a variety of pitches - two fastballs (4 seam & sinker), two distinct breaking balls (curveball & slider), along with a splitter that he used exclusively to LHHs. The curveball worked at 68-70 mph with depth and his slider spun at 2500+ RPMs in the mid-70s. Along with impressing on the mound, Pennington showed two-way promise with bat speed from the right side of the dish, producing a peak exit velocity of 94.1 mph.

Uncommitted. 6-foot, 175-pounds. Pennington was extremely impressive on the mound. He threw strikes and pounded the zone while showcasing some velocity as well. Pennington was an extremely fun arm to watch as he showed two different arm slots. He showed an over the top arm slot and a low 3/4 slot. Pennington used his legs well and got down the mound with good extension. Fastball from over the top was 87-89 and 85-86 from the low 3/4 slot. His slider had good movement horizontally and solid depth to it as well. Pennington will be a fun prospect to follow in the coming years. Tools are there to be an extremely impressive arm.
