Uncommitted Spotlight: ‘22 3B/RHP Noah Toney

An athletic delivery from a high ¾ slot from the versatile player that showed nice actions. The fastball seemed to take off late and was 82-83 mph throughout his pen while the breaking ball was firm and hard to pick up with tight spin at 72-73 mph. The change up showed movement toward the glove side in the upper 70’s. Had one of the better rounds of BP, starting from a slightly open stance and a simple approach with the front side. There is major bat speed and violence in the swing with definite tilt in the swing path. Showed that power middle to pull side and was 90 mph off the tee while also throwing 82 mph to 1B. Very athletic at 3B and has versatility to play all over the field. A ‘22 that impressed.

Nice body for a young guy and he uses his core strength very well on the field. On the mound he showed a high ¾ slot and short arm action. The FB came out of the hand very easily and had some late life to it and was up to 83 mph with the pitch. The breaking ball is a power pitch that he was able to command very well to his glove side at 69-72 mph. He showed confidence in throwing the change up and stayed down in the zone and stayed down in the zone at 73-74 mph. This can be a pitch a lot of hitters swing over the top of. Does a nice job keeping the barrel through the zone at the plate showing some present strength in the hands and some nice juice off the barrel (87 mph exit velo off a tee). The swing shows some violence from a tilted bat path. Nice rhythm in the load and showed a strong pull side approach. At 3B he showcased very solid glove actions and the arm strength was nice (82 mph) and he showed the ability to throw from different arm slots
