RHP Parker Sansone (Timberland, 2027) is an upside name to continue to follow in Missouri. He has a projectable frame at 6-foot,l 180-pounds, and showed a four-pitch mix on this day. His fastball played with carry at 88-89 mph (T90) while flashing above-average spin (T2372 rpm). His best secondary offering was an 83-86 mph cutter that was in the zone 75% of the time. Sansone would also mix in a 72-75 mph curveball that played with depth, while also going to an 83-84 mph changeup with late fade (avg. 15” HM).

Another physical arm of note from Saturday is RHP Parker Sansone (Timberland, 2027). Standing at 6-foot, 180-pounds, Sansone commanded both sides of the zone throughout his outing, flashing swing and miss stuff and the ability to miss barrels. The righty ran his fastball up to 86.5 mph, consistently sitting at 83-85 mph with some carry up in the zone. His best secondary pitch at the moment looks to be his slider which he threw at 68-72 mph with an average of -16” of horizontal movement. He also turned over a changeup at 77-78 mph, making him a name to keep an eye on in the 2027 class.
