6-foot-2, 185-pound southpaw is the top uncommitted lefty arm in the class w/ a proportional frame. First look in an outing against state champion Baylor, where he worked two frames keeping the deep lineup off balance at 79-81 and a hammer breaking ball. As the summer progressed, the velo continued to tick upward across the board. At TN Senior Games in October, Newman was 83-85 (T 2263 rpm; Avg: 2050 rpm) showing the ability to beat bats up in the zone and also utilizing the arm side action to beat righty bats away. High-spin 12/6 hammer CB at 71-73 (T 2450 rpm; Avg: 2346 rpm) w/ great bite and deception off the elevated FB. Occasional CH at 76-78, but can lean on FB/CB combo to neutralize hitters from both sides.
