2027 RHP Isaiah Forhan out of the North Shore Twins program stands out immediately with a big, strong frame at 6-foot-4, 185-pounds. It’s a clean arm swing and Forhan tunnels his stuff well, starting with a pair of fastballs in a four-seamer at 79-81mph and sinker at 81mph. The slider plays well with late, tight horizontal break and is utilized at the out pitch. Forhan also featured a cutter at 71-73mph. Looks be more on the way from Forhan and it will be interesting to see where his game is at following a full offseason of development and growth.

Interesting look at 2027 Isaiah Forhan, a big right-hander out of the North Shore Twins program. Checking in at 6-foot-4, 185-pounds, he isn't a velocity arm right now as much as he's an arm you can dream on. His fastball lives in the 79-80 range (2200+) and looks loose out of his hand. He plays off it well with a 68 mph slider (2300+) and a curveball at 65 mph (2200+). His location was sporadic early in his bullpen but he settled in as he went on, finishing off with a changeup at 75 mph with some downward action. Overall good look at Forhan, who has the body to fill out into a quality arm.
