The righty had an electric bullpen, touched 97 mph and ripped off low 90s sliders. Sullivan would continue that in the spring, consistently 91-94 and touching 96 in game multiple times while showing the ability to spin the baseball. The Mt. Vernon product had 65 strikeouts in 37 innings pitched in his senior season, with a 0.75 earned run average. The 6'1" righty would finish as the 2nd highest ranked propsect in Indiana's 2024 class.

Scouting Report

9/23/23

RHP Cameron Sullivan (Mt. Vernon, IN, 2024; Notre Dame) is one of the top arms in Indiana’s 2024 class, currently ranked No. 4 in state (No. 134 nationally). The high-end arm has noticeable control within his delivery and moves with intent and athleticism down the mound. A quick arm with clear acceleration out front, Sullivan pumped his fastball up to 91 mph, sitting mostly 87-91 mph. He mixed in a swing-and-miss slider that sat 82-83 mph with 2700 RPM.

While Sullivan didn’t have his best stuff in this look, it's easy to see why the Notre Dame recruit is one of the more well-known draft prospects in the class. Sullivan came out ripping fastballs at 90-92 mph, however after a handful of glove-side misses, he turned to a low-to-mid 80s slider to get himself out of trouble. Sullivan possesses one of, if not the best, right-handed sliders in the class and he spun it with conviction at spin rates north of 2800. The slider breaks late with sharp sweep and generated one swing-and-miss after another throughout his three innings of work. His fastball settled into the 88-92 mph range, athleticism and arm speed stand out for the 6-foot-1, 180 pounder.

Sullivan climbs to #4 after an outstanding summer on the circuit. The athletic, quick-armed right-hander ran his fastball up to 94 mph this summer, consistently sitting in the low-90s with quality feel for an electric three-pitch mix. The Notre Dame recruit possesses one of the top sliders in the class - a sharp, 82-86 mph pitch with late-break & advanced spin metrics (2800). Sullivan shows confidence in his sinking, 83-86 mph changeup, throwing it to both RH & LH hitters alike. Sullivan is a bit undersized at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, but he makes up for it with his advanced stuff, off-the-charts intelligence, athleticism, and his competitive demeanor.

4/25/23

A big-winner at last year’s PBR Future Games, Sullivan has continued to develop into one of the premier arms in Indiana’s 2024 class. The quick-armed, 6-foot-1, 185 pound righty has an athletic, slightly crossfired delivery paired with clean, compact arm action from a H ¾ slot. The Notre Dame recruit attacks hitters with a mostly fastball/slider combination, with the fastball showing late life at 89-92 T 93 mph. The slider is a plus pitch when everything is synced, showing late-break at 81-84 mph, with the ability to both land it and wipe it out late in counts for S/M. Sullivan flashed a diving, 85 mph changeup to left-handed hitters.

I love the confidence that Sullivan took to the mound this weekend - absolutely attacking the zone with his three-pitch arsenal. The 6-foot-1, 185 pounder uses his athleticism on the mound to move with intent and quickness. He sat 90-92 mph on his fastball that paired well with a tight and sharp, 82-85 mph slider. I also like the upside in his diving, 86-87 mph changeup, especially against LH hitters.

The Notre Dame recruit had an impressive showing at the PBR Future Games in July and backed that performance up with a strong fall to shoot himself into the top 10 in Indiana’s Class of 2024 rankings. The 6-foot-1, 180 pound righty has shown the ability to reach his fastball into the low 90s on multiple occasions, topping out at 91 mph. Sullivan has an athletic delivery with ultra quick arm speed and he can really spin the baseball. His fastball shows good ride through the zone and his tight, 80-82 mph slider has a chance to be a plus pitch with advanced spin metrics (2500+ RPM). Sullivan has starter potential at the next level, showing a true three-pitch mix with his diving, 83-85 mph changeup.

8/24/22

Sullivan was one of the biggest winners for Team Indiana at the PBR Future Games, shooting him up the class of 2024 rankings. The 6-foot-1, 180 pound RHP showed a quick arm that produced a fastball that was up to 91 mph with good ride through the zone and got multiple swing-and-misses. Sullivan’s slider is tight at 80-82 mph with 2500+ spin, and he possesses a diving changeup in the low-to-mid 80s.
