Scouting Report

6/16/25

Rojas, a Miami recruit, had a sensational spring, and entered the summer as the top pitching prospect in the class. At 6-foot-3, 180-pounds with a square-shouldered, ultra-athletic frame, he whipped in fastballs up to 97 mph throughout 3.1 dominant innings that saw the southpaw strike out eight against two walks and just one hit. He countered a sizzling fastball that included 2700+ rpm with a sweeping, sharper slider at 78-80 (2700+) which he confidently threw for strikes as well as burying hitters late. Unnecessary in this look, he also flashed solid feel for a faded changeup. A dynamic mover whose loose, whippy arm pumps out of a low ¾ slot, there still appears to be upside to the arsenal. However, the present stuff is elite, and given his highest end athleticism (he also went 5-for-11 out of the 4-hole while busting out 4.1 run-times from the right side), he should be able to make advancements and adjustments with ease. There is a relaxed ease to Rojas’ presence on the diamond, but he is an impressive competitor whose baseball IQ and pitchability stand out at all times.
