Looked the part of the potential SP1 in the class during his bullpen. I see some shades of Jared Grindlinger in the operation. Arm works loose in a compact circle with real whip to the front. Gets down the mound very well to gain extension while also carrying the heater with 19-inches of vert on average. 74-76 change played with sinker-like action; showed real feel for a mid-60s CB with 2-plane depth and a chance to sharpen. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound young-looking frame leaves me bullish. Premier projections. Good athlete, as well, who ran a 7.18 and showed two-way potential with a clean left-handed swing.

A trio of Indiana prospects made the trip over the border and stood out, with INF Andrew Jones (Undecided, 2029), OF/RHP Paulie Hobbs (Hanover Central, 2029) and LHP Townes Cinninger (St. Joseph, 2029) all showing well on the day.
Cinninger is a projectable left-hander with easy movement patterns and a fastball up to 80 mph.
