Mason Veronezi: RHP/SS, (2023) Burnt Hills, NY. 6-foot-2, 155-pound lanky ,lean frame. Projectable on the mound, used a short arm action with a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who uses some effort. Displays in line shoulders with a consistent balance point. He lands open with a falling off finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 76-80 mph; showed arm side command and running action. (Max spin 2411; Avg 2244). Throws a 12/6 curveball (67-69) that shows sweeping action and glove side command. (Max spin 2383; Avg 2330). His changeup (70-71) had fading gradual action and arm side around the zone command. The frame and stuff could use the addition of physical strength and weight gain. His best days are in front of him.
