Cade Julius, Mansfield (TX), 2025 Positional Profile: RHP/OF Cade has great upside. He shows the ability to throw and command a quality slider and changeup. He throws a good fastball and with some work on increasing his fast twitch and power his velo will continue to climb. He has a high ceiling and the potential to develop into a quality power arm. Body: 6-6, 213-pounds. Tall lanky frame with broad shoulders and plenty of room to still fill out as he matures. Delivery: Stretch only with hands set at the chest, feet shoulder width with slight bend in the back leg. Methodical delivery with glove pat. High leg kick with a fairly decent load into the back hip. Cade does a good job of utilizing his length and releasing the ball out front. With a better load into the backside and more explosive trunk rotation his velo could really make a quick jump. Arm Action: RH. Long, 3/4 arm action that creates an uncomfortable at bat for a right handed hitter. Stays on top of the ball well with a loose arm that works. Average arm speed. FB: T90, 87-89 mph. FB looks heavy and comes out of the hand downhill. Has some pretty good ride through the zone and looks like it could get some swing and misses and induce lotse of groundballs. T2062, 1992 average rpm. SL: 72-75 mph. Tight and late break with good depth. Plus pitch that has big time swing and miss potential and will tunnel well off of a 2-seam/sinker from this 3/4 arm slot. T2087, 2010 average rpm. CH: 75-77 mph. Cade shows a good feel for the changeup. He stays on top well with good hand speed making it difficult to pick up at release. Good speed difference with quality armside fade. T1917, 1891 average rpm.
