Gabe Eddington, Montgomery Central (TN), 2024 Positional Profile: SS/RHP Body: 5-9, 145-pounds. Slim frame currently on the smaller side with plenty of projectable traits to add size and muscle mass. Arm Action: RH FB: T85, 79-84 mph. Showed some flashes of an electric FB. Could play at the top of the zone with swing and miss potential. Would like to see some more consistency in his motion and being in the zone. Being in the high to mid 80s consistenly will make him even more effective T2352, 2154 average rpm. CB: 69-72 mph. CB had impressive depth to it. Will get hitters to chase out of the zone. Has impressive spin to it, once he gets some more feel for the pitch he could dominate hitters T2617, 2299 average rpm. SL: 71-72 mph. SL has great hornz movement. Late sharp break. Was consistent with keeping it in the zone. Plays off his FB well T2582, 2498 average rpm. ATH: 7.04 runner in the 60. 1.65 in the 10 yard split.
