At seventh overall in this update, there’s an immense amount of upside on the mound with LHP Camron Poe (Christian Brothers College, 2023; Duke commit). The 6-foot-3, 200-pound southpaw exploded onto the scene at the 2021 PBR Future Games, emerging from the event as one of its’ top prospects and committing to Duke shortly afterward. Poe’s stuff is special when he’s synced up, pitching in the upper-80s with his fastball and climbing up into the 91-92 mph range on occasion, reaching as high as 93.5 mph in our looks. His bread-and-butter secondary is a firm upper-70s slider with swing-and-miss spin, and he’ll mix in a low-80s changeup occasionally, too. When he’s synced up and on time, Poe has some of the most impressive arsenals in this class.
