Rookie Review: 2023 RHP/OF Jedadiah Trudeau (Cohoes)


Joe Walentin
Scouting Director, NY




Rookie Review

What we liked: The primary RHP showed his athleticism in the field as well as on the mound. Trudeau started the day with a consistent round of BP with some above average swing metrics (65 MPH AVG bat speed / 17G Rot  Acc / 81% on Plane) turning in a consistent round . In the field he moved well to the ball getting downhill with + arm strength (87 MPH) that flashed carry. On the mound is where Jedadiah impressed the most with feel for a quality 3-pitch mix. The righty featured a high spin FB that averaged 85 MPH while peaking at 86 MPH with a spin rate up to 2232 RPM. He counted with a tight slider in the upper 70's with 10-4 shape (-3.7" vertical drop/ -6.5" horizontal movement / 2326 RPM) and a change up that had up to 14" arm side fade.
