Reid Worley RHP / 1B / Cherokee, GA / 2025There might not be an arm in the class that is more comfortable and confident in movement patterns than Worley, and his understanding of that was on display in Chicago. Lean and athletic at a wiry, 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, the right-hander comfortably worked 92-93 with some later arm side life which paired well with a quality split-fingered changeup that displayed considerable arm side movement. Per usual, Worley ripped off plus-sliders up to 84 mph with north of 3200 rpm while appearing to just be dropping the pitch in for strikes. It was a mature bullpen from one of the class’ top arms, and one where his ability to calmly pound the zone in an atmosphere that can drive up adrenaline in most, was astounding. A meticulous crafter on the mound, the Georgia native appears to hold innate ability to make adjustments, and given his ability to spin the baseball, there is a strong chance that the slider may ultimately develop into at least one other pitch (curveball) if not more at the professional level where he will undoubtedly be able to attack cold zones in hitters.

Talon Haley LHP / OF / Lewisburg, MS / 2025Haley was a massive winner at the event as he came out pumping fastballs at 92-94 (1872 rpm avg.) with heavy life and what likely would have been an uncomfortable look for any hitter that may have stepped in the box. A dynamic mover who flowed elastically and aggressively down the mound, the fastball jumped out of a loose, three-quarter slot while working long down the mound with significant extension. Tossing in both a curveball (81-83) and slider (82-84), the pitches blended some, yet the biggest takeaway was the fact that there is clearly an innate feel for spin. The makings of a sharp future out-pitch was seen, and given the history of quality breaking balls seen in the past, the scouting community is likely to be greeted by an above average offering throughout the spring. Amplifying his starter look, Haley’s changeup was one of the better pitches of the day. Thrown at 82-84 with 1263 rpm average, the pitch profiled impressively well against the fastball and was thrown for strikes. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound southpaw has some durable strength in the lower-half with room to add up top, and while he will still have to post throughout the spring, his performance in Chicago definitely has some trips to Mississippi being booked by decision makers.

Peter Kussow RHP / Arrowhead, WI / 2025Kussow was the biggest surprise and discovery of the event as the raw attributes that had him situated at or near the top of the Wisconsin class have seemingly come together to provide for a considerable jump. A durable athlete whose 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame holds workhorse-like qualities, he confidently pounded the zone to a near 100% strike rate with three power pitches. Working 92-95 with ride and run from a high ¾ slot, he repeated an uptempo delivery that included a little funk in the back before displaying quickness out front. Beyond the fastball, Kussow a firm, bullet-slider at 87-88 (2600+ rpm) that has a chance to be a vicious weapon this spring and beyond, as well as a power-changeup crafted in the same form as the fastball at 88-90 in which he killed spin at 1815 rpm average. Each pitch promised both whiffs and sawed off hands of right-handed hitters, and with the development curve just starting to jump up, there is a strong chance that Kussow climbs draft boards this spring.
