Big time showing from this youngster.  A smooth athletic and repeatable delivery with lightning in his arm with his FB 86-88.  Really good arm speed with good life to FB with an average spin rate of 2400.  Most impressive for this young man with a big arm was the ability to throw his change up.  A really good offspeed pitch that he tunnels well with FB while showing really good action on the pitch.

Hunter Howard - 2024 - RHP (JL Mann (HS) • SC)

A strong frame RHP with present strength and more room to grow.  A short arm action with deception as he hides the ball from hitters.  Good tempo in his delivery with repeatable mechanics.  Showed the ability to throw 3 pitches with his average FB at 86.3, a good tight CB at 73 mph, and his CH at 79.8 mph with good action to it.
