RHP Eliot Roethle (Watertown, 2025) provided our staff with an upside look on Sunday morning. Listed at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, lean with room to add on strength. The right-hander has a fluid and controlled delivery, working into a medium leg-lift before transitioning into a tall/fall lower-half that stays in-line. Loose arm stroke that plays from a lower ¾ slot. Roethle’s fastball sat in the 79-82 mph range but his slider was the separator; throwing it for strikes and collecting plenty of swing and miss no matter the count, 66-69 mph with 10/4 shape.
