RHP Thomas Ward (Port Washington, 2028) is an intriguing young arm who stood out at this year’s summer showcase, and he’s a name we’ll continue to follow closely in the 2028 class. Ward has considerable upside in his frame as he continues to grow and mature. His fastball reached 81 mph with life through the zone, and he showed feel for his secondaries — including a sweeping slider with heavy horizontal action and a changeup with strong fading action. He moves well on the mound with noticeable athleticism and body control.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 144 pounds. Long and wiry build, strong and athletic.
Hit: RHH. Controlled toe-tap back to hitting position, gets into loaded position on time. Downhill, backspins it, ball jumps to all fields, hitterish feel. 66 mph bat speed with 7g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 89 mph max exit velocity (81.1 avg.); 304-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 75.00 mph. Full arc, low 3/4 slot, ball jumps out of hand.
Defense: Athletic and aggressive through the ball, shuffle step through the throw.
Athletic Testing: 7.78 runner in the 60-yard dash; -inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 55.34 Edge Score.
Delivery: Up-tempo delivery, quick leg lift, falls to the side.
Arm Action: RH. Extends arm in back swing, low 3/4 slot.
FB: T81, 78-81 mph; Life through the zone. T2164, 2095 average rpm.
SL: 61-65 mph; Sharp horizontal movement with feel. T2112, 2044 average rpm.
CH: 72-74 mph; Heavy arm-side run. T1681, 1403 average rpm.
