RHP Blake Yankowski (York, 2027) provided a quality look during his first bullpen at a Prep Baseball event this past weekend. He stands in a projectable 6-foot-1, 181-pound frame with athleticism throughout. He’s a quick worker on the mound, showing a clean, compact arm with clear acceleration out front. His fastball came out of the hand clean, sitting 84-85 mph and topping out at 86 mph. He then turned to a slider that showed sharp, 10/4 shape with quality spin (avg. 2572 rpm), an average of -10.9” horizontal movement and -5.0” of induced vertical break. Yankowski’s curveball showed equally impressive metrics, averaging 2472 rpm, an average of -12.9” of horizontal movement and -11.0” of vertical movement. He rounded out his arsenal with a hard changeup that played straight. There’s polish and upside in the repertoire, and Yankowski left Sunday’s event as a must-follow uncommitted arm.
Positional Profile: RHP/C
Body: 6-2, 182-pounds. Lean, proportional frame.
Delivery: Simple mover, small leg lift with tuck, drop/drive, extends down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Clean, easy arm path, low 3/4 slot.
FB: T86, 85-86 mph. Clean out of the hand, plays straight. T2227, 2141 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. 11/5 shape, plays low, throws it hard with sharp bite. T2573, 2472 average rpm.
SL: 72-73 mph. 10/4 shape, sweeping action, lands low in the zone. T2588, 2572 average rpm.
CH: 79-79 mph. Throws it hard, mostly straight. T1367, 1367 average rpm.
