Easton
Davies

Another Future Game alum with 8 of the 10 players in this Top 10 Prospect ranking, Davies an Arizona State commit, flashes a 89-94 mph FB with ride and carry through the zone, in part because of a 2500-2600+ spin rate, that allows his FB to maintain its plane through the zone and miss bats and play up, in the upper part of the zone. A tight late breaking SL is his best secondary out pitch and routinely misses bats. The question has always been can he repeat his delivery and throw consistent K’s, to utilize his power stuff, that has big ceiling potential. As of late, during Orem’s big turn around to their season, that saw them lose 8 of their first 10 games, brings weren’t going right for the Tigers or Davies, but Davies caught a tail wind and has started to dominate hitters with K’s and thus Orem has reeled off 14 of the last 15 games in the win column. A physical build with stuff and the desire to learn and improve, set Davies up for success, as he wants to be good and knows he can be really good as well. 

A Future Games participant and the #1 ranked player in the ‘24 class. Easton showed well from a stuff and tools standpoint at LakePoint, as he showed the college recruiters in attendance the strong framed athletic build you look for in a young pitcher. The ability to throw 3 pitches with arm strength. One of the top 20 velocity arms at the event, Davies flashed 91 with the FB and showed sink life below the thigh with a 2569 abv avg spin rate. He showed the ability to repeat his delivery, although he along with some of the other pitchers had some difficulty gripping the baseball due to many of them pitching in humidity for the first time. When he used the rosin, he pounded the ball down in the zone and was able to spin the SL 78-82 with tight late lateral biting action with depth at times. As he continues to grow, add strength and mature, this is the kind of arm that will be throwing really hard one day and attract MLB scouts. He is already on the radar with major colleges from his time in Atlanta, with offers already in hand. 

A really good showing and performance for Easton at the Top Prospect Games, as he received his first D1 offer after this last weekend. It’s my belief this will be the first of many in his young HS career. A very talented young athletic lean build with plenty of room to grow and add size and strength in the coming years. Only 15 years old and armed with a 86-88 mph FB that sat between those numbers. Kids this age fluctuate vastly with their velocity, but the FB remained tight in its numbers and jumped at the plate with ease. It wouldn’t be going out on a limb, to say that if he remains healthy over the next 3 years, this is a mid 90’s arm waiting to happen. The SL 72-75 has CB velocity now, with late biting SL action. A 80 mph pitch type in the future. Accepted an invite to the PBR Future Games and will be fun to see what he can do at a young age on that type of college recruiting stage!
