Austin (Blake) Saltzman, Hazel Green (AL), 2024
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-4, 150-pounds. Lean and wirey frame, high waisted that can easily add mass and size.
Delivery: Easy and controlled tempo and delivery. Minimal deception but shows ability to hide the ball from a late release.
Arm Action: LH. Whippy arm from a low 3/4 slot. Arm drags for a late release.
FB: T81, 79-80 mph. FB offers late life and works best away to righties with ASR. Bowling ball type effect that can challenge hitters when he stays on pitch with high horizontal plane movement. T1934, 1778 average rpm.
SL: 70-72 mph. SL offers late bite with tunneling off FB with a true sweeper shape. Same intent and arm speed with exceptional spin in the 2600 RPM range. 20 + inches on multiple SL that will really give RHH hard at-bats with strikeout ability present. T2759, 2646 average rpm.
CH: 77-77 mph. Showed late tumble, killed the spin. T1580, 1580 average rpm.
