Physical: Durable and projectable 6-foot, 200-pound frame with an obvious starter’s build on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started from the middle of the rubber working from the stretch only, medium leg-lift with good direction towards the plate, front side opens slightly early creating a minor fall off towards the first base side / medium level posture at the land, high effort at release through a quick, high ¾ slot showing a moderate arm circle. FB ranged from 82-84 mph with good spin at 2151 rpms per Trackman Baseball, lived mostly down around the knees with it pairing up a 70-72 mph CB with depth and 11/5 shape to it, upwards of 2150+ spin. Feel for both offerings and attacked the zone early and often, the FB plays with increased velocity at the plate and jumps out of the hand on occasion.

The youngest player in the event was very impressive. Only an eighth grader, but already 5’10”, Mazza turned heads with his 77 MPH fastball. That is extremely advanced for his age and almost at the nationwide average velocity for a varsity player. His mechanics were very clean. Mazza wa also able to throw strikes consistently, showing that he was not overwhelmed by the moment. His curveball was 60 MPH and his change up was 68 MPH.
