Keaton Ruthardt: RHP/OF, (2021) Deer Creek, OK. 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame that oozes projection. On the mound, the right-hander works from a controlled delivery with rhythm that he repeats well. Arm action is long, loose, and clean in the back before coming through an over the top slot. Produced a fastball with downhill tilt that came in at 85-88 mph, commanded in the zone. Curveball shows near 12/6 shape with rolling action (69-71 mph).

A long limbed and projectable 6-foot-3, 170-pound with lots of room to add size and strength. On the mound, the right-hander works from an average tempo delivery with rhythm and an up, down, and out leg kick before gliding down the mound and finishing balanced. Arm action is long and controlled in the back before coming through an over the top slot. Fastball shows come cut to the glove side and some run to the arm side at 84-85 mph, touching 86 mph, almost all strikes. Curveball shows 12/6 shape with consistent depth at 66-67 mph, nearly all strikes. Changeup is thrown with full arm speed showing consistent late fade at 77-78 mph, mostly strikes.
