Corbin Payne, LHP, Harrison (IN), 2023
Uncommitted. Payne stands in a strong 6-foot-1, 188-pound frame. During his ‘pen, his fastball sat in the mid-80s with mostly straight actions. He also showed feel for a mid-70s slider with short, vertical actions, and a change-up at 75 mph that played mostly straight.
