UTL/RHP Eddie Ahearn (Parkway South, 2024) climbs up our board after an impressive two-way showing at the Future Games with Team Select. There, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound backstop threw it well behind the plate, popping a 1.96 on his best bullet while elevating the baseball to the pull-sde in BP. Perhaps Ahearn’s most redeeming quality, however, lies on the mound, running his fastball up to 88 mph from a lower slot on average, pitching at 84-87 mph. He also spun a low-70s slurvey-type breaking ball and spotted a 78-80 mph changeup below the zone.
