Henry Vail: RHP/2B, (2026) Bronxville, NY. 6-foot-2, 155-pound lean athletic build. Projectable in the box, the right-handed hitter had a max exit velocity of 82 mph. (68.3 mph bat speed average). (20.2 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a tight compact load, then used a controlled big leg kick. Had a level loose swing plane, electric bat speed and high finish. Found multiple barrels with tons of loud contact. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Above average while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 78 mph; has a twitchy exchange, athletic feet, and sure hands. Movements laterally were athletic and he fields the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a high ¾ slot and a loose arm action. Clocked a time of 7.54 in the 60-yard dash. Above average projectable on the mound, showed quick arm speed, he had a long loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall stretch only type pitcher and shows easy effort. Downhill in line shoulders with a strong balance point. Lands square with an athletic balanced finish. Sat with his fastball at 80-82 mph; shows command both sides of the plate down in the zone with heavy movement. (Max spin 2196; Avg 1941). Threw a 1/7 curveball (70-71) that showed glove side command and slurvey late action. (Max spin 1408; Avg 1313). His changeup (69-71) had arm side control and fading swing and miss action. Love the projection off the mound.
