5/6/14 - Connor Lungwitz is a 6-foot-5, 205-pound right-handed pitcher for Maize HS that is committed to play baseball Wichita State and is one of the top area prospects for the 2015 MLB Draft.  Lungwitz, who is also Maize’s quarterback in the fall, has a strong, athletic MLB pitcher’s frame already.  On the mound he has a methodical delivery from the wind-up and shows excellent body control throughout.  From the stretch he primarily uses a simple, slide-step knee lift.  He throws from a ¾ arm slot with easy, clean arm action and out-in-front release point on all his pitches.  He worked in the 83-86 mph range with his fastball today, although MLB scouts have reported to us they have seen him in the low 90’s.  He spun an effective 66-69 curveball that at times had a short 11/7 break to it.  In addition, he used a 72-74 change-up that had sinking action away from left-handed hitters.  On the year, Lungwitz is 2-1 with a 1.45 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 29 innings.
