2023 Preseason All-State
After missing time due to a knee injury that kept Wayman out of most of last season, Wayman is back and healthy and ready to make some noise. His last start on March 23rd vs Ridgeline, Ethan was spectacular as his line read: IP 4 H 2 R 1 ER 1 BB 1 SO 10, as only 4 balls were put in play. With a projectable 6-0 182 Lb build, there’s plenty of room to add another 15 Lbs at maturity and throw even harder. A simple rock step to the side with a hand pump allows him to gather into a flexible high kick to his delivery. Wayman breaks his hands over the rubber to allow for the timing and sequencing to follow suit. He works downhill with a full arm stroke from his takeaway, and shows a loose floppy wrist to finish pitches and allows for some spin to his FB and most definitely to his SL. The FB 84-86 T88 rides through the zone at times, and shows arm side run as well. The CB 70-72 has solid shape and definition with a TQ tilt axis and has the true CB hump and finishes with downward break and depth in front of the zone. The SL 76 (2454 rpm) has slightly avg avg spin and has TQ late break and tunnels with the FB. Definite pitch for him with teeth. The CH 76-77 has fade life and moderate late sink. Definite pitch to develop and use more to RHH’s. A four pitch type that can miss bats and has the athleticism to make adjustment and altitude for improvement. Has had some JC’s and a top D2 reach out with interest. Someone is getting a projectable upside LH arm with 90 or better coming in the next year with a high spin SL.
A med lean wiry athletic build with proj weight and strength gains to come at maturity. A two way type with equal parts success at both. As a LHP, he showed a med kick and breaks over the rubber from a compact delivery. The arm is up and in the slot at foot strike. He could post a bit longer on his backside with added hip turn up top, which should unlock another foot to his FB. The FB 76-80 has that natural arm side life and the CB 66 has looser spin and med depth. The CH 65-68 has some fade and is a limited pitch for him at present. Was around the plate with all three pitches. With the bat he starts with a semi wide, even props stance with his hands held in front of his face with a vertical address. He leans back into his post leg, with a hands back approach and shows a heel lift and slight lift of the toe, to drive the bat in a short compact path to the ball. The swing overall lacks the ideal looseness you are looking for, but he does have some bat speed and young 15 year old strength. With an EV up to 90 and sitting at 85, there is definitely strength to the swing. From the OF, he moves methodically to the ball and hesitates a bit, and needs to be a little more aggressive to the ball, but he gets good acceleration through the baseball and shows a HTQ arm stroke with proj arm strength. A young kid that has 3 years of HS left and I look forward to seeing his progression throughout the coming years.
