Rhys
Sorgius

Lean, 6-foot-2, 160-pounder with clean, balanced patterns. Simple delivery with loose arm stroke. Pitched at 81-83.5 with some sink to a heater that he controlled well. Spun a quality breaking ball that is his best present pitch; 74-76 mph offering that averaged 2459 RPM and he swept it at 10" on average. Firm, sinker-like change in the low-80s. Filled the zone with all of his pitches. Also, reached 90 mph from the outfield. With the raw arm strength shown from the outfield, and the ability to spin a true slider in the mid-70s, velocity jumps are projected sooner-rather than later and will amplify advanced pitch-ability.

Sorgius does nothing but elevate himself with each look - my favorite mover/arm action of the day. There is so much to dream about in the lean, 6-foot-1, 145 pound frame - beginning with the aforementioned mechanical traits. He gets deep into scap retraction while the ball remains moving in the arm action and gets to high 3/4 slot. The delivery is exactly how you'd draw it up - with strength gains likely to help his overall explosiveness to produce more velocity. For now, he comfortably pitched at 80-82.5 mph with a natural sinking fastball and paired it with feel for a tight (2211 avg. RPM) 69-71 sweeper that he showed feel for. Sorgius saw varsity time for Gibson Southern this spring and is my biggest 'pick-to-click' arm leaving this event.

+ '28 RHP Rhys Sorgius (Gibson Southern) is a freshman arm that I am bullish on coming out of this event. The immature-looking, projectable, 6-foot-1, 140 pound frame should pack on strength in a hurry and produced a 78-80 mph fastball at this event, a number that should skyrocket with strength gains. His low-70s breaking ball has big upside, while his mid-70s change plays off the fastball and is sold with fastball arm speed. The movement patterns are what I like best here - he gets solid hip-to-shoulder within a balanced, cross-strided operation while the arm works loose & free to its 3/4 slot.
