Pitching- Good arm speed, with a high ¾ arm slot, and down hill motion
Fastball: 88-91 MPH (Top Spin Rate 2271)

Change up: 76-81 MPH
Curveball: 74-76 MPH
Comments:At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, New has a frame that projects as a starter. He got off to a slow start in the 2024 high school season but worked out some issues and really came on as the year progressed. Continues to show an uptick in velocity. High spin rate guy with a high ceiling. Slider has potential to be a next level swing & miss offering with continued development. One of the top uncommitted arms on the 2025 recruiting board in Kentucky.
