Colin Tarr, RHP, West Aurora (IL), 2023
True freshman. Lean and projectable, 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame with room to add on strength. Athletic mover down the mound with a loose arm action, more velocity to come as he continues to fill out. The right-hander worked his fastball in the 89-91 mph range, topping out at 92 mph with life through the zone and slight arm-side run. He showed a knack to spin the breaking ball, ripping his slider off at 77-81 mph with over 2600 RPM at times, sharp/late bite. His final offering was a fading changeup right at 84 mph, playing with over 15” of run at times.

RHP Colin Tarr (West Aurora, 2023) created some intrigue among our scouting staff with his ultra-projectable frame and eye-popping TrackMan metrics. Standing at 6-foot-2, 165 pounds, the right-hander moves down the mound with highly athletic movement patterns in his lower half, transitioning into a clean and loose arm that plays from a high ¾ slot. In addition to his fluid movements, Tarr boasted the top spin rate among the event’s curveballs, averaging over 2,700 rpm and reaching a max of 2,771. He throws his curve with confidence while consistently landing it for strikes, playing with sharp 11/5 shape and depth in the 72-73 mph range. Tarr also displayed one of the best sliders in the entire event, thrown with intent off a short 10/4 plane at 74-75 mph, averaging 2,555 rpm (2,642 max). The right-hander’s fastball impressed on its own, working up to 87.8 mph while spinning at an average of 2,365 rpm (2,416 max), jumping out of the hand and playing through the zone with natural running action to the arm-side.
