LHP Aiden Eckert (New Richmond, 2025) is a well-built lefty who throws from a deceptive low-¾ arm slot. He uses a medium leg lift from the windup and slide step from the stretch, landing slightly toward first base in the delivery, the arm action is short but live. His fastball paced all lefties at the event, reaching 84 mph with sink and run - he located the pitch consistently down and arm-side. His changeup is the better of of his two offspeed offerings, working 71-74 with mostly vertical break and a bit of arm-side run, the same plane as the fastball. His curveball has gradual 11/5 break from a slightly higher slot than the fastball, thrown at 64-66. Eckert has a unique profile with his low slot and above-average movement on his stuff.
