Will Edwards, Greenfield School (TN), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Body: 6-0, 195-pounds. Solid athletic build that projects very well, should add athleticism exponentially in the coming years. Delivery: Has good pace through his pitching motion, developing feel for getting into his lower half before driving out with a very long stride. His stride may be costing him some velo as he currently lacks the strength to get down the hill onto his front side with that big of a stride. Arm Action: RH. His arm works well with a good arm swing behind him, some whip as he accellerates to release in front of his body. His arm action will work very well as he grows into his body. FB: T78, 74-78 mph. FB shows "cut-ride" action to it at present with an above average feel for spin @ his age. Should develop very good velocity in the near future. T2039, 2002 average rpm. SL: 57-62 mph. Shows solid feel for his breaking ball at present with a big speed differential. Has alot of potential going forward with increased armspeed/strength. T2022, 1933 average rpm. CH: 63-66 mph. Very early feel for his CH, will get better as he learns how to hold armspeed through the pitch. T1800, 1735 average rpm. ATH: 7.85 runner in the 60. 1.82 and 4.26 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
