RHP Tommy Mitchell (Loyola, 2026) gave an upside look on the mound over the weekend. Listed at an athletic 6-foot, 170-pounds, the right-hander displayed a simple and tall delivery into balance point, working in-line with closed shoulders to his target. He has a long, loose arm swing that transitions into a high ¾ slot, creating a fastball in the 80-82 mph range with slight arm-side action. To pair off the fastball he went to a sharp 12/6 curveball and a tight slider, both playing in the low-70s. His final offering was a heavy-running changeup with deceptive arm-speed, kept beneath the zone at 76-77 mph.

His curveball looked to be the better of the two in this look, throwing it with 11/5 shape down in the zone. 2026 to keep an eye on down the road.
