(2024, Mt. Juliet, 2024) The southpaw didn’t have his best velocity Saturday, but it didn’t stop him from attacking hitters, while routinely missing barrels. Petricca is coming off of an injury that cost him the back half of last season. Early reports on him have had him in the mid to upper 80’s, but sat comfortably 84-86 with a curveball at 72-74. He was able to locate his offspeed down in the zone and on the plate consistently where he racked up 7 K’s in 5 innings. The velocity will continue to climb, while the profile projects for just a ton more as he matures. If he can go deep into games, Mt. Juliet should have a stout 1/2 punch.
6/21/22
Uncommitted, southpaw flashing big upside stuff. Lean, athletic frame w/ good core and square chest. On-line falling down the slope w/ short stride and low 3/4 slot. FB at 82-85 w/ life that jumps on hitters and good carry thru the zone (T 2394 rpm). SL at 72-74 w/ big shape and some bite. Elevated spin rates (T 2438 rpm) w/ swing n' miss potential. Intriguing stuff and tough at bat when he's attacking the strike zone.
