Blake Killinger, Orange Lutheran (CA), 2026 Positional Profile: RHP Shows starter traits with his frame, arm action and pitch mix with some rawness/polish needed to reach ceiling. Body: 6-6, 200-pounds. Uber projectable frame with length and room to fill to his wiry present strength Delivery: Moves with low effort operation that features a knee lift just above the belt with hands moving from high set position to just in front of his chest before moving down mound. Small sit into back hip before using his front leg to work down into foot strike. Stays online down the mound with some lead leg block that helps him to maintain direction over his front side through delivery. Arm Action: RH. Deep arm circle that works with depth behind his body up into a high 3/4 slot allowing him to hide the baseball from hitters until release. There is quickness to the arm speed through the delivery while he gets to extension with a clean finish that minimizes any recoil after release. FB: FB has riding life when thrown up in the zone and can peak above 20" on IVB which combined with his taller frame induces swing/miss and chase from hitters. Can work down with it in zone in addition. Potential 4 quadrant FB. SL: SLD is short and tight with a cutter like break to it giving him a glove side moving pitch to play off his FB. CH: Features more of a straight CHG which tunneled with his ride FB can induce soft contact up in zone when executed with conviction.
