2021 MLB Draft: Black became a hot name in 2019, as he overpowered Cape Cod League hitters with his 92-96 mph fastball, an average slider and a fringe changeup. His fastball now flirts with the upper 90s and he has a hard (upper 80s) yet inconsistent slider. In 13 starts this spring the 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander logged 72.1 innings while allowing 64 hits, 31 walks and 95 strikeouts for a 3.11 ERA. Black throws with long arm path from a 3/4 slot and shows effort in his delivery, leading to a likely reliever profile in professional baseball.
The Ace of the Whitecaps, Black overpowered Cape hitters with his 92-96 mph fastball, an average slider and a near average changeup. In eight appearances (5 starts) this summer the 6-foot-2, 200 pound right-hander logged 36.1 innings while allowing 27 hits, 12 walks and 39 strikeouts for a 1.48 ERA. During his one inning start for the East Division in the Cape All-Star game, he easily retired three of the top hitters in the league (Nick Gonzales, Hayden Cantrelle, Zach DeLoach) on just five pitches. Black throws with long arm path from a three-quarter slot and repeats a balanced delivery. With good health and continued development of his slider and changeup, Black could see his name called in the top rounds of the 2021 draft. (Seifert)
