RHP Grayson Buckley (Mt. Zion, 2029) stands in a strong-bodied 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame, and looks like an upside follow on the mound. Buckley is a simple mover on the mound, with minimal effort and wasted movement. His fastball worked up to 81.6 mph in this look with quality spin (avg. 2315 rpm), and he showed a change-up at 70-74 mph with fade and downer action. His slider looked like his best off-speed offering, sitting 65-69 mph with 11/5 shape, averaging -15.6 inches of horizontal movement and -9.9 inches of induced vertical break. Buckley emerged as a name to follow throughout his prep career.
