Nick
Discher

One of the top uncommitted arms in Minnesota’s 2024 class. Strong 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame that moves well down the mound. Discher was very impressive during a rain-shortened outing on Saturday evening. Quick, lively arm that played in the low-to-mid 80s with the fastball, T86 mph with ride through the zone. Threw a high-spin slider (2600+ RPM) in the low-70s that got swings and misses low in the zone. Currently ranked No. 32 in the state’s 2024 class.
