Ambrose Horwath: LHP/1B, (2023) Hudson, MI. 6-foot, 165-pound. At the plate, the left-handed hitter had a max exit velocity of 73 mph. Began in an athletic stance with a compact load, then used a leg kick to initiate his swing. Bat speed is average, exhibits uphill swing plane and good extension on his finish. Found multiple barrels with some loud contact. Pull side approach. In the outfield, his best throws to the infield topped out at 77 mph. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 7.7. Athletic on the mound, had good arm speed and threw from a high ¾ arm angle. Tilt-and-topple type pitcher who uses some effort. Balance point is tall with falling off shoulders during delivery. Lands open with a recoil finish. Threw his fastball 76-78 mph. Has sweeping action and consistent control on his 2/8 curveball (66-69). His changeup (69-70) had consistent command and fading action.
Pitching: On the mound steps right with a toe pointed down leg lift. Shows a fast arm while hiding the ball well. Fastball was easy out the hand sitting 77-79 mph with late life. Commands the zone well, displaying good composure. Curve was sharp with late bite 66-67 mph advanced pitch for his age. Change up with deceptive out the hand sitting 67-69 mph.

Hitting: At the plate has a high leg lift and longer swing path. Mad solid contact at the plate. Has some pop in the bat. Shows some lift in his swing. High follow. Pitching: On the mound sets up on a slant showing a easy arm action from a high 3/4 arm slot. Arm side run on the fastball. Worked the zone well showing a 74-77 mph fastball. Curve has a sweeping action keeping the hitters off balance 65-67 mph. Attacks hitters.

Body Type: 5-foot-10, 150-pound athletic, projectable frame. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Easy, fluid delivery on the bump. Athletic movement patterns with the ability to repeat. Clean/compact arm. Fastball: 70-74 mph. Mostly true through the zone with slight run/sink. Velocity isn’t there yet but all signs point to more velocity down the road. Curveball: 64-66 mph. 2/8 sweeping breaking ball with a nice combination of depth and sharpness to it. Changeup: 67-68 mph. Above average pitch stuff wise, living below the barrel. Pitchability: Above average for class. Showed feel for all three. Additional Comments: Young lefty to follow. Athletic look to him with an impending velocity jump and the ability to compete in the zone with quality offerings.
