The 6-foot, 185-pound 2022 left hander threw two innings in relief in Game 2 vs Missouri. King continued to show off his quick arm w/ quiet repeatable delivery. Fastball worked 83-85 (Max Spin: 1905 AVG: 1671) comes out of the hand clean w/ some arm side fade. Utilized tight spinning breaking ball at 70-72 (Max Spin: 2073 AVG: 1884) w/ late depth. King also showed a changeup at 70-71 w/ good hand speed. Profile projects as a top tier LHP among 2022 class w/ clean arm and intriguing skill set.

Max FB: 86 FB: 84-86 CB: 67-69
The 6’0 185-pound King is a rising 2022 southpaw prospect with a high 3/4 quick arm and simple stroke. His fastball plays at 84-86 heavy arm side run and life, which especially bear downs on LHH. The fastball pairs well with a sharp 67-69 mph 1/7 curveball with good shape. Tendency to miss glove side with fastball and breaking ball, but was fairly strike efficient with both offerings. He struck out 3 in 2 innings of work.

LHP Joe King (Ezell-Harding; Vanderbilt commit) jumps over a hundred spots to settle at 121 overall after reports of the 19' Future Gamer running his FB into the low 90s and sharpening his breaking ball. King was a staple last summer with a great imposing frame and lightning quick arm. After more development this off-season at Parker Sports Performance, King has made the next jump in development with improved velo on all his offerings. The FB is getting into the low 90 and the breaking ball is sitting in the upper 70s.
