Gavin
Lynch

Uncommitted. 6-foot-7, 220 pounds. When Lynch toes the bump and I press record, he barely fits in the frame. With the height and mass of a Conference USA power forward, what also stands out is the athleticism. No, it’s not easy to repeat the delivery at his size, especially in HS. But when Lynch controls his body, the delivery is extremely clean. I’d much rather him be tip toeing the line of grace and wild with 100% intent, than repeat the delivery better at 85% effort and throw 85. That gets you absolutely nowhere in life, and Big Gavin is going places. Despite his full intent pitch by pitch, it actually looks quite effortless for his size. We had a good look on him last week at 90-93 as a starter, and he was a lot more consistent there. Last night, he gave up only 1 barrel so it wasn’t like anyone hit him. The FB has easy mid 90’s potential, and wouldn’t be surprised to see him climbing even higher in the future. The pitch shows a different level bore at times, showing me he can eventually mow college hitters with just that pitch. The SLV definitely needs sharpening, but showed some promising shape at times. His SPLT had considerable depth on the one I saw, and with a little more intent/trust in the pitch, I think it can develop into a weapon in college.

6-foot-6 200-pounds. Uncommitted. Lynch went 2 strong innings holding fastball velocity the entire him. The strong framed righty attacked hitters with his fastball that was 89-93. The delivery is smooth for  his size, and really gets into his backside when getting down the mound. The arm slot is slightly lower than over the top, allowing for high spin on the fastball with late life. He worked well out of the stretch, and still went right at hitters. Lynch will be a high follow this spring when he starts to ramp his pitch count up and get later into games.
