The 2025 Super 60 is rapidly approaching and once again loaded with premier prep talent. Last year the 2024 group totaled over $17M in signing bonuses, and that does not include two second round picks who did not sign (Tyler Bell, Chris Levonas).

Looking further back, the talent at the 2022 showcase was also elite. Future first rounder Owen Murphy (20th overall) was the headliner, and many others who are now college juniors, are primed for the top rounds this July. Today we’ll take a look at over a half dozen pitchers who have done just that.

2022 Super 60 roster

Landon Beidelschies, LHP, Arkansas- Just missing the Top 150 of our current draft board, the large-bodied southpaw has turned his 92.3 mph fastball touch as an Ohio prep at the Super 60 into a mid-90s offering last season as a sophomore at Ohio State. Now in Fayetteville, Beidelschies has moved across the rubber to the first base side where it maximizes his horizontal approach to a fastball with cutting action. At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds Beidelschies throws from an above average release height of 6-foot with average carry on his fastball that ranged from 94 to 97 this past fall. His mid-80s gyro slider played plus last season in terms of whiff rate (48%) and he has also progressed with a mid-to-upper-80s changeup that has flashed plus with late tumble. His control has also ticked up, improving a 14.5% walk rate in 2023 to 8.8% in 2024. At this point Beidelschies is an early day two prospect.

Ben Bybee, RHP, Arkansas- After peaking at 91.8 mph with his fastball at the Super 60, Bybee continues to gradually improve each season. Now pitching in the 92-95 mph range, he relies on his secondaries more than his riding fastball that averages around 18.5” IVB. The best of his off speed is an 86-87 swing/miss changeup and an 85-88 slider/cutter that is effective for off the barrel contact. The Kansas prep is also one of college baseball’s top strike-throwers, posting a 100th percentile strike rate on his changeup, 97th percentile on his slider and 93rd percentile on his fastball last season. The 6-foot-6 righthander is currently a 5th-7th round prospect on a star-studded Razorback’s pitching staff.

Grayson Grinsell, LHP, Oregon- The Nevada prep attended the Super 60 as an outfielder, ran a 7.21 sixty and threw 94 from the outfield. In Corvallis he converted to a P.O. and enters the 2025 season with two super regional starts already under his belt. Throughout his first two seasons, the 6-foot-1 lefthander has been hard to square up (.209 BAA) while also missing a ton of bats (166 strikeouts in 127.2 innings). He primarily pounds the zone with a 87-91 mph fastball and his upper-70s changeup and low-70s curveball are two swing-and-miss pitches. Although his pure stuff does not overwhelm, hitters must cover nearly 20 mph of velocity range when facing him and lefthanders who generate swing/miss are valuable commodities on draft day.

Kole Klecker, RHP, TCU- Klecker burst upon the scene as a freshman, compiling a 10-4 record over 17 starts for the Horned Frogs. Despite just modest gains to his “stuff” during his two years of college from his day at the Super 60 as an Arizona prep when he touched 91.3 mph and spun a 74-75 mph curve, Klecker averaged 90.3 mph on his fastball last season. At his best, he can locate the pitch to all quadrants of the zone and mix a pair of chase breaking balls with his low-80s slider and upper-80s cutter. A return to his form of 2023 and the development of an effective soft pitch (changeup or curve) is the key to his prospect value and a potential leap into the top five rounds this summer.

Aiden Moffett, RHP, Texas- Always possessing a big arm, Moffett touched an event best 96.7 mph at the Super 60 and recorded a 99.3 max fastball last season at LSU. A popular ‘pick to click’ in his change of scenery from Baton Rouge to Austin, the 6-foot-3, 230-pound right-hander pitched sparingly over his first two seasons as a Tiger, logging just 17.2 IP. He has a long arm swing to a high three-quarters release and his delivery can get out of sync, causing him to spray the ball which leads to the key to his development – improving his control. He can make hitters look silly when he’s in the zone, but needs to find it more often. Moffett also flashes the makings of a putaway slider at 83-85 with a good, sharp tilt. His upside is obvious if he can refine his consistency and pitchability under the new regime at Texas.

Derrick Smith, RHP, NC State- A Minnesota prep, the loose-armed righthander touched 92.7 at the Super 60 and now sits in the 92-95 mph range with the ability to reach back for an occasional 96 and 97. However, his fastball generated very little swing/miss in 2024 with a 22nd percentile Whiff% of 11.8% and he’s in need of making adjustments to its movement profile. What pays his bills is his low-80s, 70-grade slider. He repeats the pitch for nasty action that he can also manipulate into more up/down for an effective curve. Both spin super tight in the 2800-3000 rpm range. His slider is one of the top breaking pitches in all of college baseball. He allowed an .051 batting average against (98th percentile)  with a 61.2% Whiff% (100th percentile) last season.

Gage Wood, RHP, Arkansas- Ranking third in the state as an Arkansas prep, Wood is another Razorback who just missed our 2025 preseason draft board. He has a powerful build at 6-foot, 205 pounds to go along with a mid-90s power fastball. As a sophomore the righthander struck out 56 and walked just eight in 40.1 innings pitched. His plus-plus control is the result of a compact and repeatable delivery. There’s good shape to his 94-96 mph heater (15-18“ IVB, 4-7” HB) and big depth to a 81-83 bender. His third pitch is an effective 86 mph slider that spins into the 2600 rpm range. After two strong years out of the Hogs’ pen, look for Wood to become a part of another stellar starting rotation in Fayetteville next spring where he will cement himself as an early day two draft pick.
