Jacoby Dutchover, Midland (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: LHP/OF LHH/OF…solid approach to hit with nice contact, using all fields. Defensively steady defender. Will gain strength in future, solid position player. LHP…good mover. Like the upside to FB with velocity and developing pitch ability. Slider shows spin, inconsistent release point hinders quality. Slider actually looks like CB to my eyes, either way, command develops, solid pitch. Feel for change present. Will fun to watch develop.
Body: 5-9, 161-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Will have solid build in future. Shows some lower strength now.
Delivery: 1st base side start with cross step delivery, creates angle. Simple side step rocker. High knee lift, cast stride leg out, then down slope. Nice job of using lower 1/2, chest gets over front leg.
Arm Action: LH. Full circle, works well. TQ slot with good finish. Developing arm speed, solid now.
FB: T87, 84-86 mph. Command can improve. Needs to work FB down in zone along with working to glove side taking advantage of angle created from delivery. Like the upside to FB. Shows some effective FB arm side, will be really good when he learns to work glove side. T2189, 2040 average rpm.
SL: 73-76 mph. Solid spin, inconsistent release point. When landed showed quality action with depth to finish. T2253, 2109 average rpm.
CH: 80-82 mph. Tail/sink with avg deception. T1682, 1588 average rpm.
ATH: 7.03 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 3.91 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, moves well. 27.90 max vertical.

Hit: LHH. Solid approach to hit. Short stride, lands in good position to hit. Solid use of lower 1/2 in swing with rotational back foot. Hands/barrel start in good position. Hand/wrist cock create barrel tip over bill of cap, creating some length to swing. Nice job of getting on plane and using all fields. With added velocity at next level, if struggling with velocity would look to shorten hand/wrist movement getting barrel into better launch position. During game play had solid AB's with a couple of hits, works at this time. Fair bat/hand speed present now. 65.7 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 80.8 mph. 329' max distance. Solid contact off barrel, solid approach to hit with opportunities to improve initial start to swing if he ends up struggling with velocity at some point. Solid contact in game play here, wouldn't change anything at this time with noted opportunities for future.
Arm: LH. OF-86 mph. Arm works fine with decent arm speed. Needs long toss program to increase arm speed. Behind crow hop hinders momentum of lower 1/2 setting to throw, would recommend trying crow hop in front to see if it helps maintaining lower 1/2 momentum.
Defense: Moves to baseball well, breaks down to field well. Avg range. Chance he can play CF at next level if speed takes a jump.
ATH: 7.03 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 3.91 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, moves well. 27.90 max vertical.
