Corbin Craver, Green Hill (TN), 2025
Positional Profile: LHP/LHP
Body: 5-9, 147-pounds. High waisted with longer arms and legs proportional to his frame. Plenty potential to add size and strength to his body.
Delivery: Starts cornered on 3rd base side of the rubber. Glove is eye level as he gets into his body turn perpendicular to home plate. Drops it initially to sync with his leg lift as he raises. Shows ability to stay back with his front half and block off early rotation as he makes his stride down the mound. Pushes off the rubber efficiently with quality hip turnover before allowing his upper half to fire. Braces with hyperextension out over his plant leg with a very quiet and calm head/body.
Arm Action: LH. Longer arm that creates quality shoulder/hip separation with drag of the arm. Hides the ball well from a low 3/4 arm slot. Feel for repeating arm path with more arm speed to come.
FB: T82, 80-82 mph. Fastball offers quality spin on the four-seam. Could look to stay behind pitch longer with his fingers as he can pull off to his glove side. Offers consistent pitch coupling and will work best when getting ahead early and down in the zone. T2241, 2157 average rpm.
SL: 71-72 mph. Slider has a chance to be a true advanced offering with 18+ inches of horizontal plane movement. Wipeout potential and can be used truly in any count. Must work to create additional feel with throwing it for strikes early in counts, while displaying ability when throwing it to backfoot against righties/off the plate against lefties. T2845, 2725 average rpm.
CH: 77-78 mph. Changeup shows killed spin with the ability to throw it for stikes. Lacks some movement and more of a speed differential pitch with his fastball at this point in its development. Will need to continue to stay inside the offering with later pronation release. T1558, 1539 average rpm.
