2021 MLB Draft: Casparius spent his first two seasons as a two-way player at North Carolina, even recording a two-hit game at the College World Series in 2018. Fast-forward to today and he is flourishing as a pitcher only. The athletic 6-foot righthander repeats his low-effort delivery and shows plus command of a 91-95 mph fastball. All three of his secondaries (curveball, slider, changeup) generate swings and misses with the fading changeup as his go-to offering. Despite his status as a fourth-year junior, his fresh arm, easy delivery and control of a four-pitch arsenal excite scouts and he will likely be selected in the top five rounds.
Broad shouldered freshman Ben Caspariuswas 88-91 mph with his fastball while featuring his go-to slider at 81-83 mph. (Seifert)
At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, body is strong and athletic. As a right-handed pitcher, fastball is 87-90 with late action. The breaking ball is a plus pitch, has the ability to throw it at anytime. Thrown hard in the mid 70's. At the plate hits from the right side, shows gap power, uses the entire field to hit.
