Nixon Tooley, Argyle (TX), 2026 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Good build/frame to add strength. Inconsistent command/control due to release, lacks consistency. Can improve extension to release point and develop more conventional finish, eliminating crossbody finish. I like the upside to stuff, firming release, will take step forward. Body: 6-2, 195-pounds. Good physical build/frame to add strength. Delivery: Stretch only delivery, swings stride leg back, falls thru balance point. Lands in good position with chest over front leg. Spinoff finish. Arm Action: RH. Cutoff circle to backside. TQ slot, semi crossbody finish, cutoff extension out front. Fair arm speed, lacked feel for release point at times. FB: T86, 83-85 mph. Will gain velocity in future. Lacked consistent release point, struggled with command. Some carry up in zone, when he was able to harness command, did nice job of working up down, Arm side tail, nice down plane. T2188, 1890 average rpm. CB: 67-67 mph. Limited use, inconsistent finish, decent spin. T1956, 1956 average rpm. KN: 69-69 mph. 11-5 type, inconsistent action.
