2/18/24
OF/RHP Aiden Rodell (Francis Howell, 2025) continues to show our staff arm strength on both sides of the ball, doing so at the Preseason All-State earlier this month and again at this event. A strong well-proportioned 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete with room to tack on more muscle mass, Rodell led all outfielders in throwing velocity at this event (T90 mph). He pitched at 82-84 with his fastball, touching 85 mph, while spinning a short wrinkle slider at 69-71 mph and turning over a low-spin changeup in the mid-70s as well.

Defense: Attacks the ball with aggressive routes and longer strides.  Fields the ball out in front of the glove side leg with a feel for glove action and clean exchanges.  Utilizes a quick shuffle crow hop technique with slight momentum headed towards the target.
Run: 7.41 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Quick rocker style footwork around the rubber working to an easy pivot foot.  Quick pace and tempo to the delivery.  Works to a high balance point with a strong weight stack onto the back leg and upright posture in the upper body.  Clean hand break from the glove at the top of the delivery.  Works from the middle of the rubber and strides directionally down the center of the mound with good momentum headed towards the plate.  Tall and fall style motion down the slope and repeats mechanics well.
Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 arm slot with a shorter arm action.
