Hereโs the Phinn Waters montage w OS clip at the end. Presence on the mound matches how good the stuff is. Countless whiffs on the fastball alone but the pair of advanced off speed pitches help separate him. Certainly will have his choice of P5 schools come this summer.
Phinn Waters (โ26 TN) excellent tonight in his road start. Lived 86-89 w/ excellent carry. Got a bunch of whiffs @ the top of the zone. Shows feel to manipulate the breaker to both softly land it in the low 70โs & firm it up to get it back heel for whiffs. CH is adv. for the age.
Enjoy this 72 seconds of ๐ฆ ๐ฒ painting. Big traits to the arsenal, repeats and tunnels well. Debuted a Cut/SL type offering today in addition to his usual FB/CB/CH. High level

The ball club has acquired โGooseโ for cash considerations. The actions on the dirt are concerning, seems more interested in his own shadow than working through the short hop. Small lean frame with plenty of room to add.

Hereโs just a bunch more of Tag Andrews. Super balanced & repeatable. Challenging hitters with a healthy diet of FBโs. Breaker has always been very good, nothing has changed. Still very good. Flashed a tumbling/diver CH, should be a weapon by the time he reaches Fayetteville.
Tag Andrews (โ24 AR) loose athletic mover down the plane with real arm speed. FB shows ride through the mitt at (88-90). SL (79 2179) features late bite when necessary. Real feel to land it on the inner third.
