A potential first round prospect for 2026, Jason DeCaro impressed in game one of the series. Long, loose and projectable at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, the righthander sat 92-93, touching 95 with average life on his fastball. His changeup is already a pro-quality average and he also mixed in a usable 79-83 slider.
16u National
Uncommitted. Mature frame at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds with more room to grow and tons of projection. Relaxed, drop&drive delivery with nice extension as he comes down the mound. Short AA with a ¾ slot. Mixed pitches effectively in the zone, would lose some control at times and then hone it back in when needed to get outs. FB with blow-by action at times sat 87-89 and touched both 90 and 91 with run. Most effective to RHH when started out of zone and moves back in late to freeze hitters. Also snapped off a tight CB at 71-73 (2700+ RPM), pitch appears to be in zone as it approaches the plate then sharply dives out, generating s/m. Intriguing arm with a lot of upside.
Physical: 6-foot-1, 165-pounds. Long, projectable frame. 8.46 runner in the 60; 5.01 home-to-1B.
Offensively: RHH. Upright upper half with a wide base and some bend in the knees, hands start back and above his shoulders, uses a small stride for timing Swing works on an uphill plane, generates some loft, quick hands, high, two-handed finish. Up the middle approach. 76 MPH raw exit velocity.
Defensively: Uses a tiny prep hop for timing, gets low with the ball and fields it in the middle of his body, funnels it into his stomach and works well from the ground up. Short arm swing with a high 3/4 arm slot. INF - 73 MPH.
Pitching: High leg lift building momentum as he sits into back leg and strides out in line with the targeting, has some shoulder tilt before pulling through a repeatable release and balanced follow through. Long, clean arm action to a 3/4 release. FB: T77, 75-77 MPH. Downhill plane with arm side tail. CB: 54-54 MPH. 11-5 shape with early break. CH: 65-67 MPH. Good sell with arm side fade.
