Cade Crossland's change-up is a candidate for being the best in the class. It has 21” of arm-side at 84 mph with 10” of vertical separation from the fastball, getting 50% swing-miss and 44% chase.
Peyton Havard’s change-up is of note for the draft, 4” carry with 15.3” run. Among RHP who threw 100+ CH to RHH, Havard ranked 1st in wOBA allowed, 5th in xwOBA, and 2nd in whiff rate (57.1%). Also threw 3 pitches with 30%+ whiff this year
Landyn Vidourek is one of my favorite mid-round college bats. He makes elite swing decisions, has 70-grade EVs and is also a 70 runner. 110 mph 90th EV, 42% airpull%, .462 xwOBAcon, and 20° average LA will play
We broke down college level players so now it's time to break down prep players for the 2025 draft. Kareem and Azad Earl dove into which prep players the Cardinals could target in the 2025 MLB Draft. #STLCards

Lucas Kelly is up to 99 from a 4.9'/2.6' release. Throws both a four-seamer and a sinker. Has a short-form CB with -5" IVB and 2.5" of sweep. Flashing both a CT/bullet shape and CH with 18" of ASR. One of the more interesting relief prospects for me
