6/04/24
Ernst started Cangelosi’s game at Franklin Field and put together an eye-catching out. Ernst is listed at 6-foot-1, 155 pounds with obvious physical characteristics that indicate development throughout his high school years. Our first look at Ernst was back in April at the Lockport Rising Stars ID where some of his spin and movement metrics were extremely impressive. The numbers certainly back what Ernst flashed on Friday as his two-seam fastball had well above-average movement. Ernst’s arm got around quick and loose to pair with an easy operation down the mound. The ball came cleanly out of his hand while his fastball sat in the low-70s and topped out at 75 mph. The right-hander also showcased a genuine three-pitch mix that contained a CH and a CB. Ernst’s CB showed promise as it had some movement that will continue to develop over the coming years.
