2027 Super Sophomore: Arm Talent of the Future 

‘27 RHP Kyle Mcbride (Delbarton)

A standout performer from this event. The right hander stands 6 foot 1-165 pounds. Athletic in all he does. Moving around the mound. His move down the mound. Mcbride has arm speed and arm strength. Coils well and uses his body throughout his throw. Its low effort from a L-slot. Very clean throw. Picked up whiffs in the zone. FB top was 84 but more is on the way. Breaking ball is developing. Showed a change with fade. 

‘27 RHP Kyle McBride (NJ)

Such a loose and easy operation. Threw a bunch of strikes in his 3 innings of work yesterday. FB sat 82-84 m2c.

‘27 RHP Finnian Oloughlin (Delbarton) 

Finnian looks every bit of a top 40 player in the country. Tons of moxie in his game. Long levers with so much room to fill out. Gets down the mound with uphill shoulders. Its a H3/4 slot. FB has carry and SL has a 11/5 shape that he can add and subtract. Strikes present. 

Talk about looking the part. Long levers with low intent. ‘27 RHP Finnian O’Loughlin (NJ) throws a heavy ball that gets on you.

FB 86-87
SL 70-73

‘27 LHP Cooper Burti (Cherokee)

Burti was a standout performer. Has such poise on the mound. There is no sign of rushing his arm. Very synced up operation. Some crossfire was present. High end name to follow. 

‘27 LHP Cooper Burti (NJ) @cooperburti

Name to take 📝 of. Athleticism off the charts.

Fast arm w/heavy arm side run. Ran the FB up to 88 mph.

Low effort mover. Fills the zone up. #PBSSG24 || @ShooterHunt pic.twitter.com/RJ4jFnPBfB

‘27 RHP Justin Kauffman (Ranney)

‘27 RHP 𝓙𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓷 𝓚𝓪𝓾𝓯𝓯𝓶𝓪𝓷 (NJ)

5 K’s through 3 IP. Kauffman worked very efficiently in his #SSG outing. Strong frame with deception in his delivery. Pitched meaningful varsity innings this spring.

‘27 LHP Curt Friedrich (NJ)

Athletic mover. Short arm swing. Feel for 2 pitches. Strike thrower. Got a lot of weak contact and tips on the heater. Has ride up in the zone.

FB 82-84 🔝 85
CB 72-75 🔝 76 #PBSSG24 || @curt_friedrich pic.twitter.com/l1Au3jJYpl
