RHP Camden Loomis (Ottawa, 2024) was yet another arm that showed to have some upside. The 5-foot-10, 145-pound right-hander worked with an up-tempo delivery down the mound, utilizing a drop/drive lower-half to create power while remaining in-line to the plate. He produced a fastball up to 82 mph that jumped out of the hand with arm-side life through the zone. His most impressive secondary offering was a 65-68 mph changeup, thrown with fastball intent and consistently landing for strikes while fading to his arm-side. He showed developing feel for a short 11/5 breaking ball, kept low and to his glove-side at 69-70 mph.
