Shooter's Stock Report: Super 60 (Pitching)

February 5, 2026
Shooter Hunt
Vice President, Scouting

The 24th annual Super 60 Pro Showcase in Chicago was nothing short of remarkable with a plethora of record-setting performances and a floor that raised to unmatched heights. A record-breaking showing, the pitchers in attendance continued to raise the bar on the event, and the arm talent was tantalizing.

While each arm in attendance was clearly an advanced prospect in the class, and scout notes from the event are soon to follow, below are 10 pitchers whose stock jumped or solidified in front of Prep Baseball VP of scouting, Shooter Hunt.

  1. RHP Tyson Grulkowski
  2. LHP Colin White
  3. RHP Landon Brown
  4. LHP Connor Finn
  5. RHP Pierce Quinn
  6. RHP David Hinojosa
  7. RHP Hudson DeVaughn
  8. RHP Mason Henry
  9. LHP Colton Semmelmann
  10. RHP Caleb Cox


+ RHP Tyson Grulkowski (Muskego HS, WI South Florida recruit)
The Prep Baseball All-American checked all the boxes of a spring helium prospect with his performance in Chicago at the 24th annual Super 60. With what appeared to be 10 pounds of added muscle, the 6-foot-5, 235-pound right-hander displayed a true workhorse frame including tree trunk legs with room to develop even further. Hopping on the mound with a low-pulse intensity to the session, the big right-hander sat 92-94 (2481 rpm max) from an impossibly low slot while exhibiting ride and run on a fastball that will almost certainly tick up as the spring warms up. Less pinpoint than in previous looks, it provided an opportunity for scouts in attendance to hone in on the fierce tunnel-vision expectancy of success that the competitive Grulkowski carries on the mound. The delivery is clean and repeatable with quality use of that strong lower-half in gliding strong down the mound while allowing a loose, continuous arm to work with ease. His secondary offerings, both the firmer slider at 81-82 (2917 rpm max) and slightly more depth driven curveball at 77-78 (2833 rpm max), demonstrated his innate ability for spin, and promised a future wipeout pitch in the making. Still more, Grulkowski tossed in a power-changeup at 85-86 that seemed to mirror the fastball but with perhaps slightly more sink late. In total, Grulkowski continued to ride the helium of the summer and early fall, and this look provided an avenue for jumping into a near tier 1 position.


+ LHP Colin White (Harrison HS, GA Florida recruit)
Measuring in at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds, White’s in-person presence felt much bigger with strong, wide shoulders and longer legs that should continue adding strength in a hurry. Remaining compact throughout a repeatable delivery, White stacked well with a high coil before driving impressively strong down the mound in finding a higher ¾ slot that allowed for a 93-94+ fastball to drive through the zone at 2579 rpm max with quality extension and some late arm side life. His breaking ball, which featured near 2/8 shape at 78-81.5 (2764 rpm max) is sure to garner swings-and-misses throughout the spring with out-pitch upside in the long-term. He spun the pitch tightly, and it countered the fastball well. Killing spin on the changeup (1871 rpm avg.), it was a clear third pitch, but one that will be useful in helping his case as a future starter. In short, it was a strong performance from the southpaw who missed much of the summer, but looks poised for a big spring.



+ RHP Landon Brown (Iowa Colony HS, TX Mississippi State recruit)
The barrel-chested Texan turned in an explosive bullpen at the Super 60 with the chance to miss and break bats in the future. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder who missed part of the summer, averaged 95.8 mph on a fastball that peaked at a record-tying 97.7 mph with vicious sink and arm side life. Still more, he ripped off sharp sliders at 79-83 (2543 rpm max), countering the fastball with near saucer-effect, and showcasing the makings of an even bigger sweeper to come. Previous looks have had the slider in an even better spot, and should this one be the baseline, it already garners above average status. Looking to create distinct shapes, Brown also flashed feel for a shorter cutter at 87-90 and a heavier changeup at 85-87 (1331 rpm avg.). Working entirely out of the stretch, Brown coiled and uncoiled athletically while riding the backside down the mound and getting quality extension from a true ¾ slot. Although the power stuff will obviously generate whiffs out of any bullpen, Brown’s athleticism and movement patterns provided plenty of starter intrigue, and a full spring of posting will ultimately have the industry honing in on the upside of the two-way Texan.



+ LHP Connor Finn (Mahtomedi HS, MN Texas Tech recruit)
Toeing the rubber at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds, Finn showed off one of the loosest, easier looks at the entire event, and pumped in fastballs up to 94.7 mph with north of 2600 rpm. Working linear down the mound with a loose, fuller arm stroke, the posture of the big southpaw stood out as he repeated effortlessly while demonstrating a ride&run fastball. He dropped in a solid slider with near-average shape, for strikes, at 78-80 with more horizontal action, but it was a high-spin changeup that stood out as the best secondary offering. Still earlier in his preseason, Finn’s secondary took enough shape to warrant close attention throughout the spring, and given the ease of the arm action, it is likely that, along with the velocity, those pitches tick up in a hurry in providing an earlier Day 2 look.



+ RHP Pierce Quinn (John Carroll HS, MD Virginia recruit)
Each year, the Super 60 bullpens reveal 1-2 arms that almost unassumingly leave the notesheet littered with quality traits. Quinn was that guy this year. More of a stock look at 6-foot-1, 200-pounds, there is some present strength in the lower-half with a chance to make more physical advancements in coming years. It was the full arsenal and ability to move freely that jumped off the page in review. Loose in the back while working linear down the mound, Quinn worked 90-93.5 (2655 rpm max) with a hoppy fastball that should play up even more given the quality extension that he gets out front. He ripped off some big, downer curveballs at 79-82+ (2900+ rpm) that played well off the heater, along with a quality changeup at 83-85 (1490 rpm avg.) and short cutter at 83-87 that should provide a nice weapon to left-handed hitters. Ultimately, it was the sum of the (exciting) parts that catapulted Quinn in this session, and given his starter profile, he presents an intriguing follow this spring and in coming years.



+ RHP David Hinojosa (Poly Prep HS, NY Vanderbilt recruit)
Whereas there were less loud secondary offerings to sort through at this year’s event, Hinojosa tried to erase that notion on his own. Ripping off his customary vicious breaking ball at 79-81 (2612 rpm max), the New York native exhibited the makings of a swing-and-miss offering with quality, tight shape. Purposely, he mixed the shapes slightly, and given the aptitude, there is a chance that he can morph those shapes even more so in the future. The fastball worked 94-96 with some arm side life as he moved well down the mound with a fast, one-piece arm action that delivered out of a high ¾ slot. He also featured a sinking fastball at 90-91 with more pronounced horizontal action (17.1 avg.). Hinojosa has a track-record of single-inning electricity, but should he post throughout the spring in longer outings, there is a chance that he moves into earlier Day 2 consideration.




+ RHP Hudson DeVaughn (Mooresville HS, IN Alabama recruit)
Setting the tone for a stellar event with a big first bullpen, Devaughn ran his fastball up to 96.2 mph while working 93-96 throughout. The athletic, 6-foot-4, 200-pound right-hander featured two distinct shapes on the heater with the sinking version likely developing into the more relied upon. A quick stab in the back gave way to quickness out front from a high ¾ slot, and DeVaughn moved with some dynamic ability and might be able to go even higher on the slot in the future to generate more movement. His firmer, short sliders was tossed in at 79-80 (2481 rpm max) with some later shape, thrown for strikes with a chance to make future jumps. He also flashed some feel for a killed-spin changeup at 85-86 (1418 rpm avg.). A shorter cutter blended slightly against the slider, but was thrown firmer at 87-89 which might allow for a morphed, even more advanced spin pitch in the future. Though the arm action is less clean and continuous, it holds undeniable quickness, and given his frame, athleticism, and arm strength, DeVaughn warrants follow throughout the spring with the potential to make quick strides.



+ LHP Colton Semmelmann (Brookfield Central HS, WI South Carolina recruit)
Semmelmann turned in one of the better start-to-finish bullpens of any arm at the event. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound southpaw, who features some strength in the lower-half of an otherwise wire frame, comfortably poured in strikes with three pitches while showcasing a loose ¾ arm. Working 90-92 while pulling down at an average IVB of 17.1, the fastball featured ride&run at the bottom of the zone with a likely chance to see fast upticks in velocity throughout the spring. Countering with a tighter curveball at 77-79 with more horizontal shape than depth (2698 rpm avg), he demonstrated feel in the zone, and there is a chance that it ultimately morphs into a firmer slider. Finally, the changeup profiled well next to the fastball as he killed spin at 81-84 with the ingredients of a future above average offering. It was a true starter look at the Wisconsin native, and one that positioned him into an earlier Day 2 upside with a strong spring.



+ RHP Mason Henry (Pleasant Grove HS, UT Arizona State recruit)
The deception and outlier look that Henry unveiled at the Super 60 made him one of the more intriguing arms at the event, especially when considering the future potential. A towering 6-foot-8, 230-pounder who also can swing the bat a bit, Henry worked 92-94.3 from a steep, near over-the-top slot, and his quick arm hinted at considerable velocity jumps. A funky, short takeaway hid the ball behind the back hip as he appeared to pin it against the body before igniting the quick arm. He featured both a curveball (75-79, 2500+) and slider (83-84, 2400+) along with a solid changeup at 80-82 (1627 rpm avg.). There is a chance that the two spin pitches continue to separate shape in more beneficial form, and given the deceptiveness of the delivery and arm slot, they should continue to play well off the fastball. Ultimately, the excitement coming out of Henry’s performance lies in where to set the ceiling: he has limited innings as a two-way, so there might be a significant amount of untapped potential, especially as he continues to become more comfortable and confident in the movement patterns of the big, athletic frame.



+ RHP Caleb Cox (Springfield Lutheran HS, IL Northern Illinois recruit)
Anyone looking for the “super sleeper” of the Super 60 got a chance to check out the wide-shouldered, 6-foot-5, 200-pound right-hander who worked 91-93.5 with a future electric fastball that whipped out of the hand. Loose and whippy while maintaining a raw feel that holds intrinsic upside, Cox’s velocity felt inherently destined for triple digits in this look, and he should see steady climbs as the frame continues filling out. He featured a developing curveball at 75-77 along with a changeup (82-83) and splitter (79-81). The splitter, most specifically, stood out as the best secondary offering, and given the upward trend (likely) from the fastball velocity, is a pitch to follow closely. In all, the quickness of the arm and projection on the frame made Cox one of the more intriguing follows coming out of the Super 60.
