5-foot-10, 180 pounds. This compact, twitchy athlete has been our do it all guy for Team GA this weekend, and has been highly impressive both on the mound and behind the plate. He started off with a 1.86 pop time that led all of future games and was top 3 in catcher velo! When I talked to him about it he says he hasn’t caught in forever. That’s because he’s Mr Versatility. He can play every position on the field, including CF and SS. Ludwig will make a perfect 2 way fit for a D1 program and be a leader on and off the field. This is a player who leads by example and is absolutely fearless on the diamond. While he will be a perfect 2 way piece, long term I think the mound is where he will make his money at. The delivery is compact and explosive with ridiculous torque in hip/shoulder separation and he’s highly repeatable. He’s already been up to 91 often, and I see him as a dynamic back end of the bullpen piece who is going to sit in the mid 90’s and reach back for more one day. While he has developed a new SL, I would love to see him start adding back in his 12-6 CB that he was throwing in the past. It tunneled perfectly with his carry FB and was a devastating 1-2 punch. His value goes up tremendously if he can get that pitch back. We love how he can work his FB both at the top and bottom of the zone, as it’s essential to change eye levels on pitchers. But I’d like to see him use it more at the top of the zone, where he can take advantage of his special IVB numbers (20+). He’s only at the ground floor of his ceiling and this is a guy you want to go to war with.
