Jed Lloyd RHP / 1B / Manlius Pebble Hill, NY / 2027

Rankings  StateRank: 95 / POS: 35

The fastball shows true hop and ride through the top of the zone for consistent swing-and-miss action above barrels. He pairs it with a sharp, two-tier slider that tunnels well off the heater and collects whiffs with late bite and depth. The combination gives him a confident one-two punch capable of missing bats at higher levels.
