Vincent

6'1" 165 lbs. frame with projection still left. Vincent caught our eye a couple of weeks ago, when we saw him throw from the outfield during in & out, which led us to seeing him on the mound last Monday against district-rival St. Thomas More. The uncommitted southpaw got the start against the Cougars and showed a lot of intrigue and promise. Working exclusively from the stretch, he used a longer arm stroke to release the ball from a 3/4 to lower 3/4 arm slot, that gave off "Chris Sale" vibes. His FB sat in the 82-86 mph range with inconsistent shape at times, and more control over command. Vincent also flashed a 74-77 mph sweeping SL (2372-2546 RPM) that he landed for strikes and swing & miss, and also threw a couple of 76-77 mph CH's with -22" horizontal movement. As with any young arm, he'll need to clean some things up, but there's no denying the arm talent and upside, which makes him a must-see sophomore this coming summer.

During pre-game in & out, Vincent stood out for his crisp routes and well above-average arm from the outfield, so we circled him as a player to watch out for. Hitting out of the 9-hole, he took arguably the best at-bats of anyone in the Rebels lineup last Friday night and it was against a quality arm. In his first at-bat, he took lined out to centerfield on a 88 mph heater and then blistered a single to the pull-side on a 3-1 FB. Vincent led off the Top of the 7th with a really nice two-strike opposite field single to finish the night 2-3. He showed an innate ability to get the barrel to the ball with a really flat swing, as his barrel gets in the zone early and stays through the zone a long time. Seeing his arm from the outfield, we'd like to see what he looks like on the mound as well, as he's firmly cemented himself as a prospect to follow in the state's 2026 class.
