Frank
Costabile

Another explosive performance on Saturday came from fellow sophomore OF/RHP Frank Costabile (Stevenson, 2026), who’s tools and sheer power production rival that of anyone in the state. Athletically, Costabile is a 6.80 runner that gets off the line quickly (1.63 10-yard) with the ability to produce high-end burst in a quick window (34.2” vert, 2.92 RSI score). He flashed bat strength at the plate, barreling his firmest ball up at 97.1 mph while swatting his furthest to straight away center field at an estimated 351 feet, per TrackMan. Costabile’s loudest tool, however, is his arm, and it showed quickly from the outfield - he reached 98 mph from the outfield on Saturday, which is the highest mark we’ve seen across our winter circuit. To take it one step further, Costabile is one of two 2026 graduates in our entire Prep Baseball system, nationwide, to have a max throwing velocity at 98 mph or higher. After that, the 5-foot-9, 165-pound sophomore jumped on the mound and worked in the strike zone with his fastball at 90-91 mph, touching 91.8 mph at peak. His slider has wipeout potential; it played at 79-82 mph in this ‘pen and reached 16.9 inches of horizontal movement at max, while also being able to land it around the zone consistently. He killed spin on his changeup and threw it from a similar arm angle on average to his fastball at 80-82 mph.

RHP/OF Frank Costabile (Stevenson, 2026) two-way: On the mound Costabile showed off a big arm out of a small frame (5-foot-7, 150-pounds). He works with a drop and drive style that works slightly uphill and to the top of the zone with an 86-88 mph fastball. He flashed plus potential on his breaking ball with some serious spin, but will have to harness its command to see its true effectiveness.

OF/C/RHP Frank Costabile (Stevenson, 2026) showed off impressive arm strength for a 2026 graduate. The 5-foot-7, 150-pound two-way prospect ran a 7.23 60-yard dash, topped at 87 mph from the outfield and showed above-average bat speed and power from the right-side of the plate. To top off his impressive day, Costabile got on the mound and sat comfortably at 85-86 mph, touching an 86.8 high – that’s good for the third highest fastball velo across all Rising Stars events in the nation this year. Costabile was impressive across all facets, but his on-mound work was particularly eye-opening. He was reaching that mid-80s velocity with relative ease, and he was generating hard sweeping action with his curveball that was spinning at an advanced rate, and not just for a player his age. His changeup was equally impressive, with late arm-side run and fade that he was spotting effectively at the bottom of the zone. Costabile’s arm strength translated effortlessly into his catcher defense, where he recorded pop times in the 2.13-2.20 range, aided by an arm that topped 78 mph out of the chute.
