2024 RHP Joël Grégoire (uncommitted) was one of the better arms that ABC rolled out on Friday and there’s projection on the mound at 5-foot-10, 152-pounds. Against a deep Great Lakes lineup, Grégoire was able to navigate his way through the lineup with a good three-pitch mix and plenty of strikes. The fastball sat 84-86mph, along with a curveball that has depth and a vertical look at 69-71mph. There’s also feel for a changeup at 73-75mph that really drops off the table and generates swings/misses. Strike-thrower with three pitches and looks to be more coming. Another uncommitted 2024 arm in Quebec that should draw interest from college coaches.
