Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 162 pounds. This highly athletic strike thrower had one of the most impressive outings all summer at LakePoint. While it isn’t a prototype frame he has prototype stuff, command, and pitchability. It all begins with his extremely athletic delivery that is both compact and well sequenced. It’s one of the better deliveries in the entire class and has every trait you’d look for in a D1 starter. As you can see in the tweet below, he’s a precise mover with no wasted energy and the delivery stays very well balanced without sacrificing his optimal intent. His advanced hip hinge and ability to hold it throughout the stride creates one of the most connected arm actions you’ll see. He’s able to be consistent with a more dynamic, larger arm path due to the ability to repeat the bottom of the path at mid depth. The arm speed is whip like and the ball absolutely jumps out of his hand. Each pitch plays up due to angle but has zero effect on him having consistent pitch life. The FB velo may end up being just AVG MLB for a starter (92-93), but both of his offspeed pitches have true A/AVG potential. Just for comparison, there’s only one ‘25 arm in GA currently with 2 offspeed pitches of the same potential. His sweeping CB has shockingly consistent shape to both sides of the plate, creating an equal amount of whiffs and freezes with the pitch starting on top of RHH’s out of hand. He pronates just as well as he supinates, and this ability gives his CH wicked (almost screwball) type action. The HZB and late depth on the pitch allow him to backdoor it to RHH just as easily as he fades it across the zone vs LHH. Hail projects A/AVG command of 3 pitches which is an absolute rarity in todays age. What a dynamite arm!
