RHP Cade Cantrell (Knob Noster, 2028) has firmly established himself as one of the top young arms in the Show-Me State, and Tuesday’s outing further solidified that status. Lean and projectable at 6-foot-2, 172 pounds, Cantrell’s fastball jumps out of the hand, topping at 84.2 mph in this look, with other summer outings showing it as high as 87 mph. His go-to secondary offering was a sweeping 66–68 mph slider with over 2,300 RPM and an eye-opening -20.5 inches of horizontal movement, giving it true swing-and-miss potential. He also flashed feel for a fading 69–70 mph changeup to round out a well-advanced three-pitch mix. With present stuff, command, and plenty of projection left, Cantrell is a name to know moving forward in Missouri’s 2028 class.
