Josh Crater: OF/RHP, (2026) Grandville High School, MI. 5-foot-11, 165-pound. (65.6 mph bat speed average). (19.5 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced stance with a rhythmic load, then uses a controlled stride. He barreled up some balls. Projectable in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 84 mph; had a lengthy developing exchange, developing hands, and in control footwork. Projectable on the mound, used a moderate arm action with a high ¾ arm angle while showing some arm speed. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who shows some effort. (Max spin 2043; Avg 1947).
