Andrew DesMarets, San Dimas High (CA), 2026 Positional Profile: LHP/OF Southpaw with a balanced, repeatable delivery, clean arm action, and a three-pitch mix led by a true riding fastball and a sharp downer breaking ball. Body: 6-0, 199-pounds. Broad-shouldered athlete with well-distributed strength and a proportional, athletic build. Delivery: Deliberate delivery with a controlled tempo, incorporating an inward lift and turn of the front leg. Maintains a steady head position throughout and finishes balanced over the mound. Arm Action: LH. Compact arm circle working to a high three-quarter slot, creating clean lines to the plate. Finishes with a firm recoil after release, showing some quickness through the arm path. FB: T82, 80-82 mph. Solid vertical ride and limited horizontal break, creating a true/straight fastball shape. T2383, 2278 average rpm. CB: 67-69 mph. Heavy downward break and moderate glove-side sweep. The combination of depth and tilt gives it a traditional downer breaking ball shape with some horizontal bite. T2279, 2144 average rpm. CH: 75-76 mph. Fade and modest ride. Lower spin helps create separation from the FB with late arm-side movement. T1868, 1816 average rpm.
