(Brentwood Academy, 2026) The young sophomore got on my radar this fall at our Prep Baseball Scout Day where he showed plenty of projection on the bump and currently stands as a top-10 RHP in the class. The 6 foot 1 and 165 pound LHP comes in with a lean and long limbed frame where he should be able to add a ton of easy strength. He had a strong litmus test for him, facing a deep quality lineup in McCallie’s. He went a total of four innings giving up five hits, while striking out four. The fastball worked 83-85 while also showing command for a slider in the 75-77 mph range. He also was able to command the zone as he threw 40 out of 66 pitches for strikes. Besides getting barreled up twice by the same player, he wasn’t really hit hard at all and actually showed good stuff. If he can continue to build off this outing, he could surprise himself with how good he could be the rest of the spring and going into the summer.
