Top 25 Profiles of 2024: No. 11 Beckett Doane
December 26, 2024
As we are nearing the end of another calendar year, we have compiled a list of the top 25 most viewed Indiana player profiles this year. According to our research through our google analytics, these are the most viewed profiles by you the reader in 2024.
Coming in at No. 11 is '26 Beckett Doane (Noblesville HS). A 6-foot-6, 210-pound left-handed pitcher. The projectable southpaw had a very successful 2024 season. He showed out at the Preseason All-State in March and then for Noblesville in the spring. Doane collected 50 strikeouts in 40.1 innings pitched (1.74 ERA) for the Millers. The junior then showed well on the summer circuit and earned an invite to the Prep Baseball Future Games in July. Doane was outstanding at the Future Games, punching 5 of 6 batters with an 88-90 mph FB while mixing a splitter and slider. The southpaw drew interest from top programs around the country and eventually committed to Mississippi State in September. Doane is ranked #2 in Indiana's 2026 class and #42 in the country.

Running fastball sitting 85-88, touching 89 on his best bullet.
Throwing a 78-82 mph split with conviction, upper-70s slider flashing too. #16uABC || N2K Future Gamer 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/Qt18e15qgt
Scouting Report
Doane has added noticeable strength to his frame since competing at the Future Games as an underclassman in 2023. Now standing at 6-foot-5, 200 pounds - Doane showed a major tick in velocity that was ahead of schedule, now showing a fastball at 88-90 mph. Doane shows control of five distinct pitches, adding a sinker over the offseason that worked at 87-88 mph with nearly 15" of arm-side break. I like Doane's splitter as his best offspeed offering at the moment, as the 6'5" southpaw is able to kill spin on the 77-78 mph pitch, and it shows arm-side fade. Doane has firmed up his slider, now throwing it 79-83 mph, and also spinning a 75-78 mph curveball to provide multiple looks with spin. Beckett moves down the slope with a controlled aggression, and his full arm swing works to a deceptive, low 3/4 slot. The ability to control a variety of pitches, paired with an up-tick in velocity and a frame that projects, made Doane one of the biggest winners of the weekend.
