Rinehart

As far as prospects go, Rinehart was the best of the bunch with off-the-charts athleticism packed into a frame that still projects for much more. Standing at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, Rinehart burned a 6.61 60-yard dash to start the day and proceeded to show off loud rotational patterns and athleticism with multiple upper-90s exit velocities in batting practice. With that being said, the future is the left-handed arm talent he presented. There is some dynamic effort to the delivery and he moves down the mound in an efficient manner with a loose, quick arm that works to a 4-foot-6 release. He worked 86-87 with the heater on this day, running it with significant arm-side life, and sold a change with the same arm speed in the upper-70s. The change has significant fade and looked the part of a swing-and-miss offering. The breaking ball is still in the development stages; mid-to-upper 70s offering with gyro depth that plays up with control. Rinehart is coming off a loud summer campaign that was capped by an appearance at the Prep Baseball Future Games, and he made a commitement to Coastal Carolina shortly after.

Projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound southpaw who turned in the best bullpen of the day. Works from a low, deceptive arm slot with quickness, creating uncomfortable looks. Fastball sat 80-82.2 mph with heavy sink, showing late life to the bottom of the zone. Mixed a low-70s changeup with slowed arm speed and a short, late-biting slider in the low 70s. Length, deception, and present feel for three pitches make Rinehart a high-upside 2028 follow with a unique look on the mound.
