LHP Aaden Colón (Jacobs, 2027) will be a freshman to know moving forward. Listed at a lean and projectabe 6-foot, 178-pounds, the southpaw impressed with a low-effort, simple delivery and loose, low ¾ release. His fastball played easy out of the hand with some carry up in the zone, playing in the 80-82 mph range and topping out at 83 mph. To pair off the fastball he went to a sweeping slider with 2/8 shape, 70-73 mph with some feel for the zone. His low effort operation paired with his upside frame makes for an intriguing follow throughout his prep career.
