Aaron
Patton

All State Invitational:
Left handed throwing Patton has a lanky 6-foot-5, 190-pound frame, and showed the ability to throw three pitches for strikes. Coming from an over the top arm slot with short arm action, Patton’s fast ball sat an easy 78-81, leading us to believe there is more in the tank. Patton also flashed a 65-67 mph breaking ball with gradual movement and an effective change up (71-73 mph) with late fade. As Patton continues to fill his frame, he should see a spike in velocity as he continues to progress

Columbia Top Prospect:
The 6-foot-5, 165-pound Patton is a long and wiry left handed pitcher with a loose arm and a high 3/4 delivery. His heavy fastball sat 73-77 with late movement. Patton displayed near fastball arm speed on his breaking ball and changeup, both of which were consistently thrown for strikes. With his very projectable frame, look for Patton to see an increase in velocity as he gets stronger
