RHP Andrew Tay (Mt. Zion, 2025) is an intriguing arm that’s still uncommitted after this event. Standing in an athletic frame with upside at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, Tay has simple and clean actions on the mound. His arm is compact in the backside and moves into a ¾ slot with acceleration out front. His fastball sat 83-86 mph with some ride through the zone, while also twirling a slider at 76-78 mph with short, horizontal break. He rounded out his arsenal with a 80 mph change-up with fade to the arm-side. An uncommitted name-to-know.
