Northup is an upside 5-foot-11, 137 pound two-way prospect to know from Saturday’s event. He began his day by showcasing his well sequenced swing and consistently barreled up baseballs all over the field. Northup created a considerable amount of leverage in his swing which allowed him to drive a ball nearly 300 feet. On the mound, Northup has considerable upside. Similar to his swing, his pitching delivery is clean and loose which allows him to repeat it and drive the baseball downhill. The velocity is certainly going to come in the future as he fills out, but his 75 mph fastball showed quality run to the arm side. Additionally, Northup’s slider with lateral sweep and feel for a change up round out a nice three-pitch mix.. Overall, after Saturday’s event, Northup definitely established himself as a name to follow as he progresses through his prep career.
