Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 249-pound frame. Got the ball to start for the Gators, turning in a quality start and earning the win. The southpaw has a controlled/simple delivery down the mound, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Utilizing a two-pitch mix, De Loach would mainly work in an 80-83 mph fastball that played with slight sinking action, while also working in a 67-71 mph slider that he could manipulate the shape of; at times playing with big-break for strikes, while at other times showing late darting action for swing and miss. De Loach showed mature mound presence in big spots in the game, having to navigate around baserunners in a handful of innings, and pitching out of jams. Line: W, 6 IP, 2 H, 5 BB, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 K. An uncommitted name to follow heading into the summer.
