Thomas Butler, Boyd Buchanon (TN), 2025
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds. Average body with proportional lower/upper half. Has plenty of room to fill out into frame.
Delivery: Easy repeatable mechanics with a smooth intial leg lift. Stays strong on his backside before decending. Finishes well with stack shoulders but can lose plane on his driving phase. Maintaines a balanced follow through while pulling off to first base at times.
Arm Action: RH. Compact arm action that stays connected upon hand seperation. Creates good hop on his fastball ranging in the 15-18 inches of induced vertical break. Some arm side run.
FB: T79, 77-79 mph. FB plays best when he kills arm side run for more induced vertical break. Fastball has truer 4-seam spin action that will be able to get on top of barrels and could look to work up in the zone. T2255, 2097 average rpm.
CB: 72-74 mph. Curveball carries tight spin at a decently high spin rate average. Lacks some current downward bite and could be looked at more of a popping get me over strike. Must work on staying tighter through release with both arm and hand. Has current feel for throwing strikes with this pitch. T2436, 2346 average rpm.
CH: 71-73 mph. Overall the changeup carries decent shape that has some horizontal movement with a change in velocity from his fastball. Could look to kill more spin to give the pitch greater movement capabilities. T1988, 1921 average rpm.
ATH: 7.64 runner in the 60. 1.76 and 4.17 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Thomas Butler, Boyd Buchanon (TN), 2025
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds. Average body with proportional lower/upper half. Has plenty of room to fill out into frame.
Hit: RHH. Starts with ear high hands that stay relaxed with some wiggle for timing purposes. Strong back leg with loaded tension as he starts his initial movements. Front foot toe tap moving back to replant at his inital starting point. Fires his hips pretty well Hit path follows the hips plane with some slight uppercut that carries some lag with a long barrel through the zone. 62 mph bat speed with 10 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 84 max exit velocity, averaged 77.1 mph. 288' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-78 mph. Clean arm with some wippiness to it that stays connected, whule currently lacking present arm speed.
Defense: Fluid movements to both his forhand and backhand. Can keep glove high at times while also keeping it close to his body instead of getting it more out in front to get eye level with the baseball. Easy movement to clean up as he maintains a strong crouched position that looks comfortable to move in and out of. Pops up well with momentum to a quick transfer. Can get long at times with his body and could benefit from a shorter stride.
ATH: 7.64 runner in the 60. 1.76 and 4.17 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
