Making his PBR showcase debut, LHP Ethan Plog (Bay Port, 2024) is a name who our staff had been familiar with already prior to Saturday, as he’d previously shown well in live game settings across the summer’s tournament scene. Standing at a projectable 6-foot, 165-pounds, the southpaw features an uptempo, drop-and-drive delivery and he works in-line to home. His low ¾ arm slot helps him create a max of 17.1 inches of horizontal break on his fastball that topped at 86 mph, and sat in the 83-85 range. As for his offspeeds, is still developing some feel on a 1/7 breaking ball but he is able to spin it in the 2,200 rpm range, which is above-average. His best secondary is a changeup and he showed confidence in it as it played with late fade/depth.
