Scouting Report
Physical 6-foot-2, 195 pound frame. Right-handed pitcher with a rotational delivery working slightly across his body with level shoulders, solid finish and moderate effort. Worked 84-85 with some deception in the cross-fire delivery. The breaking ball showed solid spin with 11/5 shape at 71-73 mph flashing decent depth on occasion. Also flashed a feel for a developing changeup at 76-78 mph with near-fastball arm speed and quality arm side action.
Nick Whittington: RHP, (2022) Sterlington, LA. Projectable frame. On the mound, showed quick arm speed with a high ¾ angle and a loose arm action. He is a feel type pitcher who uses high effort. Successfully located his changeup (79-80 mph) for a strike. Sat with his fastball at 85-87 mph and topped out at 87 mph; has control and also shows hard movement. Had control low in the zone and plus action on his sharp slider (73-74).
Long 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame with room to add strength. Right-handed pitcher with some effort to a slightly rotational delivery, longer arm action into a high-¾ arm slot with slight cross-fire, creates some deception. Pitched at 78-83 mph, topping out at 84 mph with fastball, showed solid fastball command with late finish on the pitch. Breaking ball looks to be the out pitch moving forward. Worked 69-74 mph flashing occasional hard bite and depth getting multiple swings and misses.
