Billy Batson: LHP, (2024) Canterbury, CT. 6-foot-4, 165-pound lengthy long build. Above average projectable on the mound, using a long loose arm action he showed lightning arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher who shows easy effort. Downhill in line shoulders with a strong balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 81-82 mph; had sinking late action and both sides of the plate control. (Max spin 1717; Avg 1597). His changeup (77-78) had glove side control and fading swing and miss action. His 11/5 slider (71-72) had tilt late action and glove side control. (Max spin 2128; Avg 2013). Love the projection and feel he has for pitching.
