Ben Fuqua, Memorial High School Spring Branch (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: LHP LHP... Big body/frame that will continue to add strength in future. Projects well physically. Loose and easy arm with hand speed present. Will continue to firm velo. Breaking ball will sharpen with small adjustments. Continues to improve spin and depth. CH has real movement will opportunity to become a plus pitch. Watch progress.
Body: 6-2, 225-pounds. Big body/frame to continue to add strength in future. Width to back and shoulders. Projects well physically.
Delivery: In place rock step with high knee lift. Some coil at top of balance point. Works well down the slope. Stride foot lands on target. Front shoulder and front hip can stay on line towards target longer. Will allow for better command of stuff.
Arm Action: RH. Athletic arm with a clean path. H3/4 slot with hand speed present.
FB: T89, 87-89 mph. Solid movement and spin to ball. Some ride at the top of zone. T2219, 2153 average rpm.
CB: 74-75 mph. Decent spin. Willl improve with delivery adjustments. T2138, 2046 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Solid pitch with good ASR. Solid speed differential. T1886, 1668 average rpm.
Big-bodied lefty with significant upside. Fastball sat 87-88, touching 89, with ~19 IVB and ASR. Curveball shows good spin and playable shape, and he’s comfortable throwing it in any count. The changeup, new to the arsenal, may be his best secondary right now, showing heavy ASR (~21 HM) with excellent sell and present command. Continues to trend up; looking forward to seeing him compete this spring.
