It was my first chance to get a look at the talented two-sport sophomore for Cartersville and came away impressed. Athletic, projectable 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame, Russell moves well in the mound with a compact arm action and repeatable actions in the delivery. Flashed feel for an advanced four pitch mix with ability to create swing and miss with the full bag, whopping 15 whiffs in just two innings. Fastball was up to 88, living 85-87 with late hop that was getting on top of hitters. Two distinct breaking balls, with a mid-70s curveball with 12-6 shape and slider at 80-81 with sharp horizontal bite. Even flashed a high-70s changeup with arm-side fade that played up to left-handed hitters. The upside is immense for the QB1.
