Uncommitted Spotlight: 2024 RHP/SS Ethan Judice

 

16u National

6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher, athletic build with lean strength throughout. High powered arm with a real aptitude to spin the ball. Short, clean arm action, lightning quick arm speed, gets our front in a flash with whip-like action, high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 87-90, touched 92 (approximately 2500 rpm), jumps out of hands, throws to both sides of the plate, hard armside run at-times. Slider, 77-83 (approx. 2700 rpm), manipulates, comfortable throwing in any count, swing and miss pitch with sharp actions. One of the better FB/SL combos to come through LakePoint this summer.
