RHP Jackson Kottmeyer (Kaneland, 2024) has seen his stuff take a big step forward in a years time. The 6-foot-5, 170-pound, long-limbed, right-hander has seen his fastball climb up to 86.8 mph, up from 81.1 mph a year ago. Kottmeyer has a loose arm from a lower slot, averaging 2328 rpm on his fastball, pairing it with a mid-70s slider and 79-81 mph changeup. Upside right-handed arm that is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential.

RHP Jackson Kottmeyer (Kaneland, 2024) is a young, upside arm to know moving forward. At his first-ever PBR event, the lanky 6-foot-2, 150-pound right-hander showed slight deception in his delivery, moving down the mound well while utilizing a drop/drive lower half, striding slightly across his body, which projects to make it difficult for right-handed hitters to stay in on. Kottmeyer lived in the 79-81 mph range throughout his 'pen with natural arm-side movement. He featured a slurve-y breaking ball at 67-70 mph, featuring some depth and feel to locate. The righty rounded out his arsenal with a changeup at 74-76 mph, showing arm-side fade and maintaining fastball-like arm speed.
