Coming to North Vancouver all the way from Kelowna, we got a good look at left-hander Brady Langill out of the Okanagan A's. Standing a healthy 6-foot-2, 180-pounds, the 2027 graduate just turned 16 and has the foundations of a lefty with upside. Showcasing as a pitcher only, Langill lands at his 10 o'clock, forcing him to throw from across his body. It didn't affect his ability to throw strikes much, and likely helps the nearly 12 degrees of negative movement on his fastball, but but with some added mobility and strength there's no reason why he doesn't see increased ticks in his velocity. The frame is strong with more to dream on, and we'll be keeping a close eye on Langill's development as he matures.
