Zach Sims, LHP, McCracken County (KY), 2023
Uncommitted. Stands at a physical 6-foot-4, 215-pounds with room for added fill to his frame. The left-hander operated out of the stretch only throughout his pen, showing overall feel for his delivery, delivering the baseball with relative ease and without much effort. The arm works loose throughout the action with arm speed through release from a ¾ slot. Three-pitch mix, Sims ran his fastball up to 87 mph while cruising at 86-87 throughout his pen with running action. Sims tossed both of his offspeed pitches with intent, his changeup sat 79-80 mph with heavy running action while his slider sat in the mid-70s with sharp breaking action.
