Caden Stevens - RHP - 2026 - Fort Mill HS

Stevens showcased an impressive arsenal on the mound, working with a fastball that sat in the 83-87 mph range. The pitch showed life through the zone, carrying well with a mix of arm-side run at times. He paired it with a 77-80 mph slider, which featured late bite and depth, giving hitters a tough look. His ability to tunnel both pitches effectively kept hitters off balance, as he demonstrated command in the zone and worked efficiently in his outing.  His delivery was repeatable, showing a clean arm action with a fluid tempo. The ball jumped out of his hand with ease, and he maintained a strong, athletic base throughout his motion. The fastball played well up in the zone, while the slider generated swings and misses, especially against right-handed hitters.  Overall, Stevens exhibited a solid mix of velocity and movement, effectively challenging hitters with a two-pitch combo that showed both command and late action.
