A pair of pitchability southpaws who put together polished ‘pens on Monday: LHP Mason Hartman (Collinsville, IL, 2024) and LHP Ryan Souden (Fredericktown, IL, 2025). Hartman pounded the lower half of the strike zone with a fastball/changeup mix that mirrored each other, and he worked to both corners with consistency from a high arm slot, too. He spun a 2300+ RPM curveball with horizontal spin at 66-68 mph to round out a mix that’ll consistently live in the zone. The same can be said for Souden, who also threw all three of his pitches for strikes. His low-80s fastball favored the arm-side corner of the plate, and he threw both his changeup and curveball in the zone as quality compliments.
