Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-1, 169-pounds.
Delivery: Starts with a higher hand set, showing minimal movement before syncing with the front leg. Utilizes a high leg kick and sits heavily into the back knee before employing a drop/drive movement down the mound. Lands closed off but works well around the plant leg, showing solid feel for blocking.
Arm Action: RH. Delivers with a full, lengthy arm path out of the glove, working downward before moving behind the body. Shows aggressive arm action that works up to a 3/4 slot, finishing with some recoil upon release.
FB: Firm FB that displays good life through the top of the zone. Can miss barrels when elevated. Spots well at the knees. Exhibits some natural arm-side run.
SL: Tight SL, with cutter-like shape. Developing offering that can be effective against both sides. Displays overall tools to potentially separate this pitch into two distinct offerings: a traditional cutter and slider.
CH: Firm CH that kills spin effectively. Plays well off the FB plane, generating chase late in counts vs. LHH.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-1, 169-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Starts from an upright, narrow setup with weight slightly favoring the back side. Hands sit at shoulder level with a slightly raised back elbow and the barrel resting over the shoulder. Shows a pronounced bat waggle before sitting further into the back side to initiate the load as the back elbow lifts and the barrel works vertically. Uses a subtle toe tap for timing, followed by a small, controlled stride forward. Aggressive hip turn at foot strike creates solid separation. Upper half works quickly through the zone, showing impressive bat speed. Slightly uphill bat path allows for consistent lift, with good feel for the barrel and frequent hard contact in the air.
Arm: RH. Full arm path out of the glove with a slightly lengthy transfer. Works from a very low 3/4 release, while frequently dropping to a true sidearm slot. Displays an explosive arm action that produces natural arm-side run but remains consistently around the bag. Left side of the INF profile.
Defense: Stays tall pre-pitch with active feet, consistently working to get around the ball. Displays solid lateral range with speed that builds through the play. Shows smooth glove work with minimal wasted movement while working toward the ball. Profiles well on the left side of the INF.

Body: 6-1, 170-pounds.
Delivery: Higher hand set, with a slight movement that gets closer to the body, before syncing up with front leg. Sinks heavily into as he works into a drop/drive movement down the mound with a long stride. Strides slightly closed off, but allows his hips to rotate around his plant leg well and has a good feel for blocking. Works into aggressive tempo with good body control.
Arm Action: RH. Works quickly with full, lengthy arm path out of the glove. Creates depth downward and works behind the back, prior to getting up to a low 3/4 release. Arm-action displays looseness and present arm speed. Shows some recoil after release.
FB: T82, 78-81 mph. Gets good spin/life on the pitch, while also presenting some arm-side run. Gets swings/chase above the zone against both sides, additionally working as a back door offering to RHH. T2247, 2164 average rpm.
CB: 65-67 mph. Good vertical action that works off the FB up well for called strikes. Generates whiffs/chase below the zone. T1982, 1958 average rpm.
SL: 69-70 mph. Developing offering with cutter-like shape. Plays well on the outer third to RHH. Could use more polish to generate whiffs/chase away, but showcases good command. T2069, 2069 average rpm.
ATH: 7.55 runner in the 60. 25.60 max vertical.

Hands work quickly through the zone, with bat speed present. Stays upright and balanced throughout swing, with bat path that generates consistent lift/carry. Pull side approach, but flashes power to all fields.

Otieku, a 6-foot, 166-pound athlete from the Bay Area, put together an impressive all-around performance at the event. Everything he did stood out, showcasing his athleticism and upside. He ran a 7.38-second 60-yard dash, posted a max RSI score of 1.46, and recorded a max vertical jump of 25.2 inches—one of the best in the event. Defensively, he showed above-average infield actions with a strong arm, recording an event-best 82 mph across the infield. At the plate, Otieku’s bat-to-ball skills were on display. He recorded a max exit velocity of 91.6 mph, an average EV of 84 mph, and a max distance of 290 feet. Most notably, his 75% sweet spot rate highlighted his ability to consistently find the barrel. With his athleticism and skill set, Otieku has the potential to be a legit two-way player at the next level. He and Footman, who will be attending the same school, could be a force together in the coming years. Don’t be surprised if both make an early varsity impact. Expect to hear plenty more about Otieku as the season progresses.
