Notes

7/05/22

Athletic 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame with strength throughout. Showed some of the tournament's loudest stuff on the mound. Reacheda 92 mph high with his fastball, ultimately settling into the upper-80s, and paired it with a tight upper-70s slider, too. Howell is a high upside arm with a loud two-pitch mix that’s a top uncommitted prospect on the mound in the Indiana 2023 class.
