'25 LHP Colton Rerick (Penn HS) was one of my favorites of the day. I was impressed with the pitch-ability that he showed at last year's Canes Scout Weekend, and now the stuff has ticked up considerably. The athletic, 5-foot-11, 170 pound southpaw again showed off his ability to place the ball where he wants, but this time working the fastball up to 86 mph (83-85). Rerick showcased two above average offspeed offerings - a sharp curveball at 71-73 mph that he showed feel to land, along with along with a 76-78 mph changeup that showed late arm side run. There is easy intent within a well-sequenced delivery, and the arm swing is full, releasing from a high 3/4 angle.

‘25 LHP Colton Rerick (Canes Great Lakes) - Lanky, 5-foot-11, 155 pounder. Crafty southpaw with command of a three pitch mix. Slow tempo delivery with a wide lift, lands closed to create deception. Long, deep arm action - ball comes out of a ¾ arm slot. Fastball worked 80-83 mph with some ASR. Induced chase with both offspeed pitches - manipulated shape on the breaking ball and was able to sink the changeup away from RH barrels.
