3/19/25
+ '26 LHP/OF Clay Austin (Floyd Central) was the biggest winner on the Indiana side, showcasing a clean left arm that establishes a safe floor. The compact, 6-foot, 200 pounder uses a simple delivery that is balanced, and creates abv avg hip-to-shoulder separation to allow the arm to whip thru with a fastball that sat 84-85. He showed some spin manipulation with a low-70s CB & SL, both abv avg pitches in their own regards. His 75-77 split was well-executed with some later dive to round out a solid four-pitch mix. There was at least abv avg feel shown for all pitches to leave starters' upside. Offensively, the stocky right-handed hitter showed off above average bat speed with exits reaching 97-plus to go along with an 87 mph outfield arm.
