6'1" 160 lbs. with some projection still left. We had the chance to see the two-time former Jr. Future Gamer last Friday in a JV relief outing against Barbe, and we're definitely glad that we decided to go to the game. Richardson came in relief in the 5th inning and came out attacking hitters, at a quick and up-tempo pace, with a 84-87 mph FB, which was a personal best. This wasn't a typical Barbe JV lineup either, as there were 3-4 guys in the lineup last Friday, that are everyday starters on the varsity. He did an exceptionally good job at locating his heater to his glove-side and at the bottom of the zone and the pitch showed some late tailing life. Heading into the summer, Richardson is definitely a 2026 for college coaches to circle as a guy to see.
