At 6-foot, 165-pounds, OF/LHP Owen Hughes (Rockhurst, 2027) is as projectable as they come. With plenty of room to add strength and size, Hughes stood out on the mound with an easy, controlled, repeatable delivery that saw him throw a fastball that jumped out of the hand in the mid-80s mph, topping out at 87 mph. With that he also had a feel to land an impressive curveball/changeup/cutter mix for strikes at 70-71 mph, 74-75 mph, and 80-81 mph respectively. His athleticism and arm strength played in the field as well, where he posted a 88 mph outfield velocity and put together a round of batting practice that saw him spray line drives all over the field.
