6/17/25
Lean 5-foot-10, 146-pound frame with plenty of room to add size and strength. Left-handed pitcher with a deceptive delivery and funky slot that creates tough looks for hitters. Strike-thrower who works with feel for his mix – fastball at 63–67, T68 (1800 avg rpm) plays up due to angle and deception, while the slider at 61–63 (1836 avg rpm) shows developing shape. Arm works loose and creates some funk that should continue to bother hitters as velo climbs. Athletically, a 7.28 runner who also shows ability with the bat – suggesting he’s a good all-around athlete on the diamond. Projection lefty with a different look – deception and strike-throwing foundation give him a chance to emerge as velo and strength arrive.
2/22/25
Mateo Kluga is a 2028 1B/LHP from Lake Central (IN) with a 5-foot-9, 147-pound frame and intriguing two-way upside. On the mound, Kluga operates from a unique low ¾ slot with a loose, whippy arm action. His fastball sits 68–71 mph (T71) with good spin (T2115 rpm), and he mixes in a sweeping slider (60–64 mph) that projects as a future out pitch. The changeup (61–63 mph) shows developing fade and rounds out a solid three-pitch mix. Offensively, the right-handed hitter shows a loose swing plane and recorded an 84 mph max exit velocity with a 280' peak distance. Solid athleticism (7.37 60-yard dash)
