2022 MLB Draft League: North Dakota St. signee; Younger arm with wiry athletic frame and plenty of projection remaining. Data darling when looking at his fastball (up to 96, high spin offering w plus IVB outputs) and curveball (12-6 with good depth, over 2800 rpm).
Getting the start on Friday night, Tong didn’t disappoint. The North Dakota State commit sat 88-90 from a right-over-the-top slot. At 6-foot, 155-pounds, it’s not an overly imposing figure on the mound, but the ball gets on hitters quickly, and he mixes in a sharp breaking ball at 74-77 mph.
2021 NorthEast Senior Games
Tong was the first to get on the mound against New York and the 22’ grad came out with three pitches for strikes and a curveball that left hitters uncomfortable and buckled. Tong works from a high-¾ slot with a short arm action and cross-fire delivery. When he is synced up, there is angles and depth to his pitches, making him a very uncomfortable at-bat. He was 88-90 for his first three innings and the curveball had depth with 12/6 shape at 76-78. Tong did show feel for a changeup and was able to utilize that as a pitch that is useful now and can turn into a very important piece to keep him in the rotation. The arm is quick and Tong will continue to develop and fill out as he matures. There is obvious tools and weapons with him and the 2022 grad is someone who can be a nice late pickup who has a high ceiling as he moves into the college ranks next fall. Lots to like here with Tong.
