OF/RHP Noah Latham-Woodruff (Madison Memorial, 2024) was yet another member of the ‘24 class that showed well at multiple positions. Currently the No. 30 ranked player in the state, Latham-Woodruff boasts a physical 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame with round shoulders and a developed lower-half. He creates easy juice from the right side of the plate, reaching up to 92.6 mph with an average bat-speed of 75.9 mph (T78.8 mph) and average rotational acceleration of 18.6 (T23.2). In the box, he starts with his hands high and drops into a flat path, creating easy bat-speed with his simple and strong swing. On the mound, Latham-Woodruff features a compact and whippy arm path from the ¾ slot, getting into his legs while he delivers the pitch. The junior has an advanced feel for the SL, CH, and CB, throwing all three pitches for strikes during his bullpen session on Sunday. His FB stood out the most, as Latham-Woodruff cranked up multiple FBs to 89 mph, a new personal best. From the outfield, he showed the ability to move well laterally. His arm featured a ¾ slot with quick actions that produced a max velocity on throws to home of 86 mph.

Latham-Woodruff presents a lanky 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame with high projectability and room to grow. Also had one of the loudest BPs of the day, as he maxed out at an exit velocity of 96.2 mph, and he recorded the quickest average bat speed among all hitters (75.6 mph). During his exciting round of BP, Latham-Woodruff showed the ability to elevate the ball, as around 89 percent of the balls he hit were lofted, one of which traveled an estimated 365 feet, according to TrackMan. Those tools translated to the live gameplay, as Latham-Woodruff had two hits in his three at-bats, one of which was a home run out of Fenway, driving in three runs. He’s previously showcased serious arm strength, too, having reached highs of 88 mph to home back in March, with mid-80s velocity on the mound where he’s also a prospect, though he did not pitch at this event. Latham-Woodruff raised his stock and was one of the main offensive winners from Tuesday’s showcase.

Latham-Woodruff was a pleasant surprise in our first look at the long lanky right-hander. He stands 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, and uses his long levers to work downhill on his fastball at 84-85 mph and he adds both a curveball and slider with similar properties.
