6/24/25
Higher-floor arm with durable, 6-foot-2, 195 pound frame. Filled the zone with a 5-pitch arsenal, highlighted by low-to-mid 80s FB (t 85) that played with sink, and late-biting spin in the low-70s. Good mover, gets down the mound well. Clean arm works from a low 3/4 slot that provides a more-unique look. Quality follow.
3/02/25
Hughes stands 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with a strong, durable build and athleticism on the mound. He works from a tucked lift into an inward turn at balance point, creating a rotational move down the slope. The arm is loose from a low ¾ slot, producing a fastball at 84–85 mph (T85) with some late sink and up to 2148 rpm. His 72–74 mph breaking ball shows sweeping, slider-like action with quality spin, and he rounds out the mix with an 80–81 mph changeup that plays with arm-side fade. A physical right-hander with a competitive three-pitch mix and athletic delivery.
