Scouting Report
Scout Director Notes
"The 5-foot-10, 170-pound right hander jumped into the rankings after a strong start with TN Nationals this summer. Average build w/ proportional strength. Quiet, repeatable delivery with quick arm that works to 3/4 slot. Some effort in the delivery but gets the arm up with fluid follow-through. FB works 84-87 with good life (Max Spin: 2243 rpm | Avg: 2145 rpm via Trackman) while working more arm side, but uses both sides of the plate. Mixed results on the breaking ball, looking more SL at 76-79 in May to more CB at 73-74 in June, regardless a nice offering with good shape and late bite. Interesting to see which way the breaking ball develops, but some high spin upside (Max Spin: 2404 rpm | Avg: 2387 rpm via Trackman) as it gets more consistent. Occasionally mixes hard CH at 79-81 w/ slight fade and around the zone. Loyd continues to search for a collegiate home while establishing himself as a key piece for TN Nationals and CAK’s state title defense during the 21’ campaign." -Colton Provey
