Pool A
5 Star Carolina - Neyra
Isaiah Lowe, RHP/3B, Christ School (NC), 2022
A member of Team Carolinas at the 2019 Future Games, Lowe showed once again why he is he one of the top pitching prospects in the 2022 class. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder continues to add muscle to his already physical frame, in addition to exhibiting smooth, athletic actions in his overall delivery. His arm works short and clean to a ¾ slot, using advanced arm speed to get out front. Gifted with tree trunk legs and an overall strong lower half, he gets into his legs using a drop and drive delivery and is explosive down the mound, finishing with a cross over towards first. Fastball, previously seen up to 91, touched 89 on the day, sitting mostly 84-87, pitch comes in heavy, popping the glove emphatically. Curveball had sharp break to it, playing 73-76, has the makings of a future out-pitch. Also flashed a changeup, that when located low in the zone had good sinking action at 75-77.
2022 RHP Isaiah Lowe (@greeniesports; @5StarCarolina) is looking strong through 3. FB is up to 89. Has been 84-87. Electric stuff. SL is sharp at 73-76. Flashed the CH at 75-77 w/ downward action. #Futuregame participant. No. 5 RHP for North Carolina. #PBRUnderclassWS pic.twitter.com/IlforyWOPz

Really like the way 2022 2B Drake Carver (@nextlvl_i; @CHSHurricaneBSB) plays the game. Solid at 2B, really quick hands and a good arm. Simple swing, with quick hands at the plate as well. Lines one up the middle with the bases loaded. #PBRUnderclassWS pic.twitter.com/4ZUl3aTgYH

The ball is jumping out of the hand of ‘22 C/P Cole Munhall (GA) at 86-88 and also showing feel for tightly spun breaking ball in mid 70s that is future swing/miss pitch.
