2027 @lucas_collins27 showed off his truly electric arm talent on Friday. Lucas sat 90-92, topping out at 93.0. He supplements that fastball with a cutter in the mid 8s, and sweeping slider in the upper 7s. Developing feel for a low-mid 8s changeup.
@FlatgroundApp @Run_BMC12
2028 @cpohler3 Cruised at an easy 85-88. Has added 4-5 inches of ride in the past couple weeks with some grip/feel adjustments. Relied on FB, which he commanded very well, but mixed in two + breaking balls. 6’ 175lbs, young for the class, v polished.

2028 @EliPohler has massive upside. Attacked with primarily an 85-86MPH FB from solid extension, but also flashed his + SL/CT combo. Nascent feel for a ++ kick change as well. 6’2” 185 frame up to 89 half a dozen times this offseason.

2028 @dylanchism might have had the best day of anyone. He cruised 86-88 with his R/R FB, and PRed at 89, paired with two nasty breaking shapes, all from a funky mechanism. Also added two kick changes at the end to showcase Dylan’s best secondary.

2028 @MaxWarner249673 was a big winner. Carved at 84-86 with two quality breaking balls. Flashing feel for a new changeup as well. Physical 6’2” 190 frame, young for the class.

Uncommitted 2027 @Luke_Haley13 bullpen from this week as he preps for camps. Showing his quality 4 pitch mix for Ks (FB/CT/SL/CH). FB has been up to 91. Athletic 6’2” 195LB frame.
@FlatgroundApp
Uncommitted 2027 @eli_shoppell with an excellent pen today as he preps for upcoming camps. 13/14 pitches were executed.
Working sim batters & executing his entire 4 pitch mix, which is highlighted by an upper 8s fastball (up to 90) & CH touching negative IVB.
6’1” 175 frame
Highlighting 2 Younger Arms:
2028 Ethan Bruce of @NorthropBase… -Relatively new to pitching
-+ 8 ticks in 2 months thanks to better CoM speed & holistically better mechanics
2029 @LiamSeiler of @HomesteadBSB
- +7 ticks thanks to cleaner arm timing and body weight gains.
2027 Uncommitted LHP @SMarquell0927 has made huge strides this off-season, sitting 86-88 across the past two weeks. Intense competitor and strike thrower. Backview/arsenal to come.
