RHP John Skordas (Stagg, 2026) stood out in his ‘pen with a dynamic arsenal. The fastball showed some life in the 84-85 mph range, playing with heavy arm-side run, reaching over 18” at times. The slider looks to have true wipeout potential with over 17” of break at its’ peak, reaching nearly 2,500 RPM at 76-77 mph. To fill out his repertoire, he went to a changeup at 80-81 mph, playing similar to the fastball with heavy arm-side run/fade and feel for the zone, reaching over 20” of run on his best ones.
