Above the class band in every fastball column FROM THE LEFT SIDE: sat 89.1–90.1 T90.9 at LakePoint with 15.8" ride AND 14.9" arm-side run off 2324 rpm — power two-plane shape lefties almost never show at this age. The June changeup (−23.1" fade at 81–82, low 3/4 slot) is a genuine out-pitch shape when he features it.

IPERAWHIPKBBHStrike %K%oppAVG

%iles vs. 2028 pitchers: WHIP 91st · K/7 89th · BB/7 81st · ERA 80th · K/BB 3.11 · 65.8% whiff-per-swing. Read that again: the #21 player in America as a HITTER also carries a 91st-percentile WHIP as a pitcher. The market prices him as an outfielder — which means the acquisition cost of a 90–91 lefty arm with plus command comes bundled free with the bat. True two-way recruit; either half stands alone.

One month, whole-arsenal jump: +2.2 velo, +1.3 feet of extension, and the slider spin exploded from 1706 to 2395 avg — that's deliberate offseason-quality progress mid-summer, on a kid whose primary training time goes to hitting. The mound share of his development budget has barely been spent.
