Gavin Kuzniewski, Fishers, 2024, IN
Position: RHP/SS
Body: 5-foot-10, 170-pound athletic build.
Pitching: Advanced. Drop-and-drive delivery, high effort. High ¾ arm angle, electric arm speed, clean quick arm action. Strong balance point, an athletic recoil finish.
FB: 89-91 mph. (Max spin 2156; Avg 2077). Arm side accuracy, running action.
5-foot-9, 155 pound freshman righty sat 79-82 against Lake Central. Showed feel for a 67-71 mph breaking ball that had spin with some depth; just inconsistent at times. Drop and drive type delivery, long high ¾ arm action with some effort. Repeats well with good direction. Interesting young arm to follow.
