LHP Lance Cuddy (Coal City) stood out as an athletic arm with a knack to spin the breaking ball. He cruised comfortably in the 79-81 mph range with his fastball, playing with heavy arm-side run and some carry; setting up his curveball with over 2,300 rpm on average, playing at 66-69 mph and landing it for strikes. His final offering was a changeup around 75 mph that he could dump in for strikes.
