RHP Caden Pierzina (Onalaska, 2024) has feel for spin on a fastball up to 79 mph that projects should he jump in velocity over the fall and winter. The pitch spins at an above-average rate, and especially at its speed, measured at 2,277 rpm on average, and it translates to effective offspeed too. His slider and curveball are somewhat similar offerings but the slider, in particular, showed sharp sweep with upside underscored by above-average raw spin traits.
