7/31/25
Everson stands in a tall, wiry frame at 6-foot-1, 169-pounds with plenty of room for more strength to come. He's an easy mover on the mound with minimal effort, working his fastball up to 85.8 mph in this regard, but sitting mostly in the low-80s with arm-side action. Everson turned to a low-70s slider with depth at times. Considering Everson made his Prep Baseball event debut at State Games, our first up-and-close look has him set to also make a loud first-ever appearance on the state’s ‘26 rankings, too.
