Notes

2/11/24
Another GBA product that threw well at the Preseason All-State and at this event was RHP Jathan Spain (Cape Central, 2026), who’s one of the top sophomores in the state. Spain takes the mound at a hard-to-miss, highly physical 6-foot-5, 215-pound creates downhill angle on his fastball at 88-89 mph, favoring the arm-side corner of the plate in this ‘pen. He throws an aggressive slider that flashed two-plane break at 75-79 mph with out-pitch upside, though he’s still developing full feel for the pitch. Spain concluded his arsenal with a changeup at 78-79 mph that he threw mostly to the arm-side corner of the plate. Given his present stuff and physicality, Spain holds one of the highest ceilings on the hill in Missouri’s 2026 group.
