Body: 6-foot-5, 185-pounds. Long limbed and projectable build with room added strength and size in the future.
Delivery: Short and simple footwork around the rubber working to an easy pivot foot. Works to a high balance point with hands working up and down with the lower half. Clean hand break at the top of the delivery. Tall and fall style motion down the mound with strong extension down the slope. Worked from the middle of the rubber and strides directionally down the center of the mound into a firm plant leg. Controlled tempo and pace to the delivery and repeated mechanics well.
Arm: Action: High ¾ arm slot with a clean arm action.
Pitch Profiles: Fastball ranged between 88-90 mph with very strong riding life through the zone as well as showing some arm side running action at times. Showed tight spin and shape on 76-80 mph slider with fastball hand speed and late depth. Mixed in a changeup at 82 mph killing spin efficiently with fastball hand speed.

Ethan Horton: RHP, (2023) Yukon, OK. 6-foot-3, 165-pound slim frame. Projectable on the mound, using a quick arm action he showed good arm speed from an over-the-top arm angle. Slow-tempo type pitcher who shows some effort. Displays in line shoulders and tall balance point. Lands square with a recoil finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 79-80 mph with a max of 81 mph; showed command and running action. Throws a tight curveball (66-67).

A 6-foot-1, 154-pound lean and projectable frame with lots of room to add size and strength. On the mound, the right-hander works from an average tempo delivery with a high up, down, and out lag kick, striding across his body and finishing slightly to the first base side. Arm action is long and controlled in the back before coming through a high- slot with looseness. Fastball sits 73-78 mph with some downhill tilt, a few strikes. Changeup is still developing with some fade at 71-72 mph. Slider shows 10/4 shape at 68-69 mph, thrown with full arm speed.
