Cade
Oleary

Cade O'leary (‘24, Farragut) The big 6' 4 and 200 lbs senior who is committed to Mississippi State would have an impressive outing on Friday for Farragut in a district winners bracket game against Maryville. O’Leary would get a big offensive cushion early from the high octane Admirals lineup and from there would cruise. He would run his fastball up 96 in the first inning and would cruise in the low 90s, his main offspeed offering was a low 80s breaking ball which produced many a swing and miss. He would have a hard time finding a rhythm with long periods of time between innings and it caused his control to suffer a bit, was wildly effective. Alot to like about the senior who looks to lead Farragut to another deep postseason run, before potentially hearing his name called in June.

 

Physical: Premium 6-foot-4, 175lb build with some of the highest upside in the class.

Pitching: RHP. Sets up off the left side of the rubber; short drop-step before a balanced leg-lift at the top of the stack. Separates down the slope while holding the upper-half back with flexibility through a H ¾ slot. Created easy velocity to the arm-side of the plate at 88-90 mph (2316), challenging hitters from the outset. Mixed a quality mid-70’s breaker that fell off the table (2350) for strikeouts.

 

Physical: High-waisted, athletic 6-foot-2, 185lb frame with obvious projection and leverage on the bump. 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with a medium side rocker step into a stack position at waist height. Balanced move down the slope, getting into footstrike at a slight crossfire, creating some deception from an upper half, H ¾ release. The FB entered for strikes at 79-81 mph (good carry, some arm-side run at times) and mixed a 69-71 mph CB with some sweep across the plate. Would later mix a 70-71 mph CH with killed spin (1662rpms AVG via Trackman, 10+ inches fade).
