Senior Future Games Spotlight: Rocco Baxter
July 28, 2026
Baxter put together a stellar spring season with Calhoun and parlayed that into what’s been a great summer that caps off with his outstanding outing at Senior Future Games. The LHP would string together two clean IP while notching a pair of strikeouts and no hits. Clean arm action in the lower three-quarters slot with ability to repeat and plenty of projection in the lean 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame. Fastball lived in the upper-80s, while running it up to 90 and creating in-zone misses due to some late cut that played well throughout the zone. Showed a pair of breaking balls with a tight slider used sparingly at 78 and curveball at 71-74 that tunnels well with gradual break that can freeze batters at times. Kick CH could end up as the best secondary for Baxter with ability to kill spin and velo alike at 69-72, sub-1000 spin. The feel is coming at a rapid rate and very difficult to pick up out of the hand. The entire profile raises its ceiling with every look and comes through again on one of the biggest stages.
