RHP Josh Efflandt (Wauconda, 2024) has made a big jump in velocity since our last look in 2022. In a little over a year’s time Efflandt has seen his max fastball climb from 81.9 mph to 88.6. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-hander showed an athletic delivery down the mound paired with a quick arm with acceleration out front. His fastball sat 85-88 mph, topping out at 88.6 mph (event high) with ride and carry through the zone (average of 16.1 IVB). His curveball flashed a sharp bite with 12/6 action, reaching a top spin rate of 2306. Rounding out his arsenal, Efflandt threw a change-up with fade to the armside.
Positional Profile: RHP/C

Delivery: Easy, highly repeatable delivery. Level shoulders. Lands on line.
Arm Action: RH. Compact, loose arm action. Over-the-top arm slot.
FB: T81.9, 78.7-81.1 mph. Plays straight. Consistently in and around zone. T2043, 1936 average rpm.
CB: 64.2-68.4 mph. 11/5 shape. Depth. Feel for the outer half of the plate. T2291, 2191 average rpm.
CH: 72.1-73.7 mph. Plays well off the fastball. Maintains arm speed. Feel for the outer half of the plate. T1591, 1458 average rpm.
Hit: RHH. Balanced, slightly crouched setup, short stride. Drops hands slightly at foot strike. Uphill path to the ball creates natural lift.
Power: 86.1 max exit velocity, averaged 84.3 mph. 309’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 75 mph. Over-the-top arm slot.
Defense: 2.05 - 2.09 pop times. Off-balance. Appears unsure of himself at times. Quick, easy exchange.
