LHP Ty Earwood (St. Pius X, 2025) continued to show our staff advanced polish and pitchability for his age. A projectable southpaw that should grow and physically mature over the next few years, Earwood consistently pumped his fastball for strikes, working east-to-west. He pitched backwards with both of his breaking balls, spinning them from a similar velocity band at 2,500+ RPM for strikes. His ability to compete and pitch right now is obvious, and he’ll tap into a much higher ceiling down the road should he tick up in velocity.

Athletic 5-foot-9, 135-pound frame with plenty of room to grow and add mass. Took the mound for Engaged Athletics against the eventual tournament champions and held his own. Tempo’d worker with a quick arm and repeatable delivery. Ran his fastball up to 80 mph, pitching in the high-70s for strikes. Showed feel to spin two different breaking balls and mixed in a changeup as well. Polished, strike-throwing southpaw with advanced mound presence for his age.
