INF/RHP Nathan Patterson (York, 2028) is a left-handed hitting two-way prospect to know moving forward. He showed loose hands paired with an athletic, uphill path that stayed on-plane (82% on-plane efficiency). Patterson peaked at 94.5 mph off the bat while also reaching a max batted distance of 351 feet. On the mound, he’s a loose, athletic mover with a quick arm, creating layback into a ¾ slot. The fastball jumps out of the hand at 83-86 mph with some carry traits, pairing well off a 12/6 curveball that has out-pitch potential. His final offering was a changeup that comes out of a near identical window to the fastball, 75-77 mph.
