Fazio is a can’t-miss prospect from Morris Knolls High Schools standing at a staggering 6-foot-7 inches tall and weighs a lean 210-pounds. This right-handed pitcher was a standout prospect at last winter’s NJ Preseason Underclass All-State. 

It is very rare to find a pitcher that is taller than 6-foot-5, let alone a 6-foot-7 pitcher with present athleticism and body awareness. Fazio seems to be growing into his frame very well and displayed a repeatable, under control throwing motion. He throws a three-pitch mix that includes a fastball, slider, and a cutter. His fastball is thrown 81-83 mph and tops at 84 mph with some induced vertical break at 17 inches. He throws his slider at 71-73 mph and his cutter at 74-77 mph. There is a noticeable difference in shape between the slider and cutter as his cutter is shorter and landed in the strike zone more often compared to his slider. He throws his slider as a put-out pitch and keeps his cutter as an early strike option. 

Overall, Fazio is an eye‑catching 6‑foot‑7 right‑hander with rare size, coordination, and athleticism for his age. He repeats a controlled delivery and shows a mature three‑pitch mix, headlined by an 81–84 mph fastball with 17 inches of induced vertical break. With a distinct slider/cutter combo and a frame that’s still filling out, Fazio carries significant long‑term upside on the mound.
