The 6-foot-4, 188-pound southpaw prospect jumped up the board after a stand-out performance at Unsigned Senior Showcase in late May. Tall, lanky projectable frame with plenty of room to add strength. Smooth, athletic delivery with consistency. Long, quick arm that works up to high 3/4 slot. FB works 83-86 (Max Spin: 2111 rpm | Avg: 2008 rpm via Trackman) w/ slight sinking action and commands it well around the zone. Best secondary is a hard SL at 77-79 w/ good 10/4 bite. Had some feel for the pitch, spotting some down in the zone while showing ability to expand the zone for chase. Mixed CH at 79-81 w/ some depth and command. Solid third offering that Ferguson threw for strikes and kept down, chance to be a polished offering in future. The sink-FB/SL combo creates a challenging tunnel, especially for lefty bats, while a third offering to keep righties honest. At the Upperclass World Series, Ferguson bumped 85-88 to go with 73-76 mph CB, leaving him as the top uncommitted lefty on the board as we approach 2021.
There was some buzz swirling around the 6-foot-4, 188-pound southpaw heading into the event, and he didn’t disappoint in his PBR debut. Very, projectable with present strength with room to add more. Simple, repeatable delivery w/ High 3/4 slot, but looked much more comfortable in stretch while maintaining velo. FB at 84-86 (1944-2111 rpm via Trackman) with some late life. SL at 77-79 was a nice offering once he settled in, showing ability to locate down and away from lefties or bury for chase pitch. Played well off the FB tunnel. Threw a heavy CH at 79-81 which could shape up to be a nice pitch when he gets some more consistency.
LHP, (2021) Knoxville Central, TN. 6-foot-3, 185-pound projectable frame. Athletic on the mound, has a short arm action and a ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who shows some effort. Showed an athletic balance point. Shows a falling off finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 84-86 mph and topped out at 86 mph; shows glove side command and running action. Throws a tight curveball that has low in the zone command.
