'25 RHP Zane Cline (Delta HS, Indiana) is a 2025 arm with immense upside. A wiry, 6-foot-3 right-hander with significant upside and room for growth, Cline showed a future swing-and-miss slider that worked at 75-77 mph. The slider works with true sweep, averaging over a foot or horizontal break and nearly zero depth. Cline also showed a 74-76 mph changeup with similiar properties, a pitch with zero depth and a foot of horizontal. Cline pitched at 85-86 mph, for strikes, at the Prospects Scout Day, and our staff has seen him up to 88 mph. A small-school kid with the frame and athleticism to make big jumps - committed to Taylor University shortly after the event.
