A pair of southpaws to follow from this event are LHP Zach Mevert (Steelville, 2022; IL) and LHP Chase Newby (Steelville, 2022; IL):
+ Mevert, who’s an athletic 6-foot, 182-pound athlete with lean strength throughout his frame, owns intriguing underlying pitch metrics within his arsenal. His fastball played in the mid-80s, touching 86 mph, from a high arm window on average (5.9 ft.), averaging 19+ inches of vertical break, while peaking at 23.4”. The eye test matches the data, as Mevert’s fastball played with natural carry, especially at the top of the zone. Mevert’s go-to secondary pitch was a true swing-and-miss splitter that dropped off the table, showing little-to-no spin (T796 RPM) and horizontal movement. It’s a pitch that’ll play even more effectively when he spots his fastball up in the zone. Mevert showed some aptitude to spin, throwing a 73-77 mph slider that flashed hard downer spin.
