Sophomore. Standing 6-foot-4, 190-pounds, Lacy has already jumped six mph since the last time we saw him a year ago. Still some rawness to his delivery, the athletic right-hander maxed his fastball out at 87 mph, sitting mostly 84-86 mph with up to 22” of run (T2338 RPM). His curveball has improved since our last look as well, playing off an 11/5 plane with depth at 65-67 mph. He also featured a changeup at 75-78 mph, fading to the arm-side with up to 17” of run at times. The pure athleticism of Lacy is something to make note of, having recorded a 6.76 60-time in years past.
