01/17/2025 - 2025 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament A tall and projectable right-handed pitcher (RHP) and first baseman (1B), Ethan Franklin stands at 6'3'' and 197 lbs, displaying a strong frame with room for continued development. His athleticism and lower-body power are evident in his 102-inch broad jump and impressive grip strength (103 left, 154 right). On the mound, Franklin features a fastball ranging from 75-79 mph, complemented by a curveball (67-72 mph), changeup (64-69 mph), and an additional off-speed pitch (66-72 mph). His arm action, control, and delivery are solid, with continued refinement in command and velocity potentially enhancing his effectiveness. Defensively, Franklin shows strong arm strength, reaching 84 mph in position velocity, making him a reliable option at first base. His infield skills and ability to handle throws add to his defensive value. At the plate, he produces an 81 mph exit velocity, demonstrating developing power with potential for further growth. His right-handed swing is efficient, and with increased strength and bat speed, he could develop into a more consistent offensive threat. With a strong physical foundation, solid pitching arsenal, and developing power at the plate, Franklin has the tools to continue progressing as both a pitcher and corner infielder. Further improvements in command, velocity, and offensive consistency will elevate his game at the next level.
