Marcus Janovsky RHP / Semiahmoo Secondary, BC / 2024Rankings StateRank: 13 / POS: 3
Janovsky is an intriguing arm, he mixes multiple pitches from multiple arm slots. Janovsky throws his FB from a high 3/4 slot and a low side arm slot, each having good arm side run with velos ranging from 76-82 MPH. Janovsky spun a CB at 71-72, a CH at 73-75, and a SL at 69-70. Janovsky has the ability to change arm slot and velocity throughout an AB keeping hitters off balance, and messing with timing. Keep eyes on Janovsky as he gains velo and logs more innings this season

Tordiffe will benefit from size and strength to increase his numbers as he gets older. Tordiffe is an interesting player to watch over the next 2 years.
