Uncommitted. Stands at an athletic and projectable 6-foot-4, 178-pounds. Started on the mound for the Panthers. Threw three innings, allowed two hits, no earned runs, walked three and struck out three. Showed a loose arm and athletic actions down the mound, Threw both a fastball and a slider and showed the confidence to throw either pitch in any count. Fastball sat 80-84 mph with arm-side run, and a slider with short break that sat 73-76 mph (2300 RPM max).
RHP/OF Braden Vanderheydt (Washington) had a strong showing on both sides of the ball this past Sunday. Standing 6-foot-4, 178-pounds, Vanderheydt has all sorts of upside and projection in his wiry frame. His arm proved to be plenty strong from each position he went to, reaching up to 82.5 mph on the mound and 84 mph from the outfield. He’s a clean mover on the mound, working into a slightly coiled balance point with a high leg-kick, maintaining a bend in the back knee throughout his stride. His breaking ball has potential, playing with tight 11/5 shape and flashing sharp action at 64-67 mph. His final two offerings were a slight fading changeup at 66-70 mph and a knuckleball with killed spin, 62-65 mph. At the plate, the right-handed hitter had a long/loose swing, working uphill through the zone and reaching up to 89.1 for his max exit velocity.
