+ LHP Aaden Colon (Jacobs, 2027) checks in at 6-foo-t5, 184-pounds with plenty of projection still to come in the frame. He worked with pace during his bullpen, showing an easy, minimal effort delivery and a clean, loose arm action out of a ¾ slot. His fastball worked up to 82.6 mph, and he also mixed in a low-70s slider.

Vizual Edge: 65.39 Edge Score.
LHP Aaden Colón (Jacobs, 2027) will be a freshman to know moving forward. Listed at a lean and projectabe 6-foot, 178-pounds, the southpaw impressed with a low-effort, simple delivery and loose, low ¾ release. His fastball played easy out of the hand with some carry up in the zone, playing in the 80-82 mph range and topping out at 83 mph. To pair off the fastball he went to a sweeping slider with 2/8 shape, 70-73 mph with some feel for the zone. His low effort operation paired with his upside frame makes for an intriguing follow throughout his prep career.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 6-0, 178-pounds. Upside, wiry build, room to fill out as he matures, projectable.
Delivery: Simple delivery, drop/drive lower-half, rides back leg down the mound, works in-line with the plate, repeats, low effort.
Arm Action: LH. Loose arm path, low 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T83, 80-82 mph. Easy out of the hand with some carry up in the zone. T2307, 2171 average rpm.
SL: 70-73 mph. Sweeping 2/8 shape, some feel for the zone. T2108, 2016 average rpm.
Positional Profile: 1B
Hit: RHH. Tall setup, minimal leg lift or stride. Hands stay short to the ball and work into a flat path, works up the middle of the field. 61.7 mph bat speed with 9 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 84 max exit velocity, averaged 77.5 mph. 249’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 79 mph. Short, clean arm action. Accurate from a 3/4 arm slot.
Defense: Deliberate footwork, secures with two hands out front.
Run: 4.35 30-yard dash.
