Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-4, 203-pounds.
Delivery: Sidestep windup, small rocker step into a higher leg lift, leg kick down the mound, simple, repeatable.
Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 slot, some looseness, ful arc, online.
FB: T86, 83-85 mph. Firmness with carry through the zone, some arm-side run, late life up in the zone. T2078, 1930 average rpm.
CB: 72-76 mph. 11/5 shape, late break, defined vertical movement, out-pitch thrown in mostly advantage counts, some swing-and-miss. T2276, 2048 average rpm.
CH: 76-77 mph. Fading action, able to land on sides of plates, feel for zone. T1643, 1622 average rpm.
RHP Ryan Buchta (Oak Creek, 2025) started in the state semifinals last week, a 6-foot-5 right-hander with long levers and room to grow. He uses a high leg-lift, landing slightly open towards first base. He uses a full arm swing into a high-¾ to over-the-top slot before unleashing his quality stuff. His fastball was 83-85 mph, reaching 86 with some arm-side run, finishing the pitch through the delivery, which led to carry through the zone. His curveball showed tight break at 71-73, mostly vertical break. The changeup also showed mostly vertical break but with a bit of arm-side run at 73-75 mph. Buchta’s cutter was 72-76 mph, also mostly vertical but with smaller, tighter break than the curveball. Buchta should improve as he grows into his big frame, honing his craft while adding velocity.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-4, 202.5-pounds. Long levers, room to add strength
Delivery: High leg lift, rocks, lands a little toward 1B.
Arm Action: RH. Long on the back end, high-3/4.
FB: T86, 83-85 mph. Firm, true with a little bit of arm side run, carry, finishes through. T2041, 1989 average rpm
CB: 71-73 mph. Pretty firm, straight down kinda more gyro slider. T2114, 2027 average rpm.
CH: 73-75 mph. Mostly downward, ASR, good pitch. T1651, 1579 average rpm.
CUT: 72-76 mph. Mostly vertical movement also just smaller than CB.
Ryan Buchta, Oak Creek High (WI), 2025
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-4, 202-pounds. Proportional build, room to add throughout, long frame.
Delivery: High leg swing with balance, gets downhill inline, balance through release with high leg swing finish.
Arm Action: RH. Full arm swing, 3/4 slot, serious whip out front.
FB: T85, 83-85 mph. Forward life finish through the zone. T2141, 2090 average rpm.
CB: 70-71 mph. 11/5 breaker with sharpness, can land. T2290, 2171 average rpm.
SPLT: 77-78 mph. Late depth at the plate, can land in zone and get below.
Buchta an imposing 6-foot-4, 195 pounds pitching prospect, pitching from a high three-quarter slot. Buchta gets heavy arm side run on the fastball that was up to 84 mph. His 70-72 mph 12/6 curveball flashed out pitch quality at times. He also has a change up with developing feel that flashes late arm side fade to the pitch. Buchta’s projectable frame likely fills with a chance for his stuff to tick in the near future.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-4, 195-pounds.
Delivery: Slight drop and drive type delivery, open toe landing.
Arm Action: RH. Arm action has length, plunges on backside with slight wrist wrap. High 3/4 slot.
FB: T84, 82-84 mph. Heavy arm side run. T2233, 2113 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Flashed sharp 12/6 at times. T2174, 2134 average rpm.
CH: 73-75 mph. Sinks hard to the arm side. T1762, 1604 average rpm.
He’s 6-foot-3, 166-pounds with an above average spinning curveball for his age, it flashed sharp action and averaged 2341 rpm, while showing an upper 70’s fastball with well above average control of the zone.
