Easton
Arendt

The 5-foot-11, 160-pound lean and wiry sophomore showed line-drive feel in BP, maintaining a level plane through the zone to contact. Arendt displayed above-average arm strength for his age by recording one of the day’s hardest throws home from the outfield, peaking at 87 mph during his workout. That quick arm translated to the mound, as he worked both corners of the plate with an 83-84 mph fastball, and there’s more untapped potential in the tank, too. Arendt threw his changeup at arm speed down in the zone and he threw his breaking ball for strikes – a pitch that flashed sharp spin off an 11/5 plane with depth and all-around feel. Arendt’s improvement in all areas of his game cemented him as a winner from this event.
