RHP Owen Swift (Deer Creek, 2028) is a long limbed projectable right hander that flashed signs of an exciting foundation at our OKC Preseason ID event. The 6’3” and 161 pound prospect utilized a three-pitch mix with good feel for both his curveball and changeup. The fastball worked into the upper 70s with good ride in a max of 17.2” of IVB. The curveball worked 65-68 and is a tough change of pace for hitters with ability to land it just below the zone. However, his changeup could become a difference maker, similar in release to his fastball but carried 17.1” of max Horizontal Movement. The young Deer Creek prospect showed exciting projectability while still utilizing a strong current mix.
