Possessing a strong and athletic 6-foot-1, 175-pound frame with a long lower half and broad shoulders, Roethle got the win for the Thundercats on the mound. The righty threw six innings only allowing one run while striking out 12. Mechanically, Roethle is loose and relaxed and has a high leg kick out of the wind-up with a long stride while fully extending his arm on the way back. He throws out of a low 3/4 arm slot. Roethle’s running fastball was thrown consistently at 81-84 mph the whole game topping 85 mph with a maximum spin rate of 2438 rpm. He also features a sharp slider that he throws for strikes at 71-74 mph with a maximum spin rate of 2285.

RHP Eliot Roethle (Watertown, 2025) provided our staff with an upside look on Sunday morning. Listed at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, lean with room to add on strength. The right-hander has a fluid and controlled delivery, working into a medium leg-lift before transitioning into a tall/fall lower-half that stays in-line. Loose arm stroke that plays from a lower ¾ slot. Roethle’s fastball sat in the 79-82 mph range but his slider was the separator; throwing it for strikes and collecting plenty of swing and miss no matter the count, 66-69 mph with 10/4 shape.
