Hardin impressed with a polished four-pitch mix across two quality innings, pounding the zone with confidence from a lean and projectable 6-foot-1, 183-pound frame. His fastball worked at 83-85 mph (T86.6) with natural arm-side run, and he paired it with two distinct breaking balls — a 73-74 mph curveball and a sharper 76-78 mph slider. He also showed feel for a 77-78 mph changeup that killed spin effectively, rounding out a full arsenal.
