12/10/2023 - National Showcase - Lynwood (Chicago), IL Ethan is a young and talented 1B/RHP in the 2028 class. He recently impressed scouts with his action both in the field and on the mound. At 1st base, he plays with a high motor and is eager to perform well. He shows solid pre-pitch movements and centers his body to the baseball. The ball sticks to his pocket and he can redirect with clean actions. Shows a high to low 3 qtr. slot and his arm plays at 72 velo. Working to stay low to the ground, will assist with hop judgement and create more carry on his throws. On the mound, he demonstrates a solid lower half engagement and is in the zone. He operates with a 3-pitch mix from a 3 qtr. slot. His FB runs at 65-6 and works both sides of the plate. His cutter has movement at 62-4 and working to keep his elbow up on his release will create additional bite. His CB ranged 58-60 with 10-4 shape and worked down in the zone. At the plate, he shows excellent balance and a quiet head. Proves to have great bat to ball skills and can create contact on all pitches. Working to stay in the zone longer will increase his drive and generate more backspin on the baseball. Overall, Ethan has the starting points for a promising career. Scouts are eager to witness his development at future BF events.
