Physical and athletic 6'1" 180 lbs. frame. The LSU recruit has been a household name for quite some time and turned in an eye-opening performance last Wednesday against St. Frederick. Downs logged a three inning shutout relief appearance with 2 BB and 3 K's, and showed big-time arm talent, as he ran his FB up to 91 mph, sitting 87-90 mph with spin rates up to 2497 RPM's. His 72-76 mph CB had good shape and with some continued work and refinement, it has the chance to be a swing & miss offering in the future. Downs also took some good hacks at the plate and connected for an opposite field double, further proving why he's currently the top two-way prospect in the state's 2027 class.

CB: 80-85 mph. "11-5" with tight shape and break, can land for strikes T2492, 2430 average rpm.
SL: Two-plane break, equal parts of lateral break and depth, more of a swing & miss offering` T2484, 2438 average rpm.
CH: 72-73 mph. Sinks with late fade, keeps same arm stroke as FB T2088, 2047 average rpm.
KN: 73-74 mph.
