Fall Player Spotlights: Isaak Crittenden
October 14, 2022
This Fall PBR Arkansas is highlighting a couple of the top uncommitted prospects from the 2023 class to a handful of talented 2025's. Today we take a look at the projectable right-hander Isaak Crittenden. Crittenden stands at an athletic 6-foot-2 and 180-pounds a shows strong pitchability with a mid to upper 80's fastball and showing a swing and miss lower 70's curveball. He pitches with good tilt and arm side run on the fastball making it difficult for hitters to get on the barrel. He will also mix in a mid 70's change up with fastball hand speed giving him a very solid three pitch mix. Crittenden continues to make jumps each time we see him and should be a prospect to circle back on for schools at the next level.
