This is an intriguing case, no pun intended, with a FB/CB combo with incredible spin rates and zone % 's at the most recent All-State Games. A skinny 6-1 145, that really needs to add 10-15 lbs of weight to distribute his frame and overall projectable build. The weight room needs to be his friend, as he has the chance to throw hard, and with peripheral data of the FB/CB, suggests FB velo is on the way. With a tall medium kick to delivery, Case features balance throughout and breaks over the rubber and gets down the slope well, and exhibits a very loose arm to project. The FB 80-82 with a spin max of 2,758, which is elite and gets downhill and hitters swing over the top, when down. The CB 75-76 is thrown as hard as any CB I've seen in a while, for a FB that low. The spin is ludicrously elite, with a spin max of 3.309, and avg’ed 3,246. This is the highest spin recorded in 2 years with PBR Utah, eclipsing #1 ranked ‘23 prospect Brayden Marx’s 2,990. With a spin rate that fast and thrown with that kind of velocity, this indicates that FB velocity is coming soon and may take a bigger spike than most. Once this kid puts on weight, with the added strength, this kid has a chance to be good.
