Uncommitted Spotlight - '24 RHP Blake Thomas (La Salle Catholic)

January 23, 2024

Scouting Director - Pacific Northwest

'24 RHP Blake Thomas (La Salle Catholic)

"Tall, lanky build with long limbs and a high-waisted frame. Fluid, easy mover through delivery. Uses a quick pace with steady tempo. High leg lift at balance with some flexion in rear leg as he breaks hands and starts stride. Subtle shoulder tilt as glove side extends out. Slight hip hinge as he gets down the slope. Shorter stride length with a soft landing. Works through his core easily and allows arm to accelerate late. Controlled intent. Full, continuous arm path. Whippy arm from ¾ release with a loose finish out front. Taller, upright finish with extension out front. Easy to envision additional gains given the size/frame and how easily the arm works. Stays behind the ball well. FB shows carry when middle to middle-in. CB has hard, downer action and tight 11/5 shape at its best. Overall, ball comes out of hand easily and he pitches with sustainable effort. "
