Horwath

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 127 in the state’s junior class, standing at an upside 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with room for added fill as he matures. Tossed a quality outing in relief, striking out four batters with seven whiffs across two innings, only allowing one base runner across both innings. Mostly a two pitch mix sitting in the low-80s with the fastball and spun a low-70s breaking ball.

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 127 in the state’s junior class. Standing at an upside 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with room to continue to add on to his frame. Tossed three scoreless innings out of the pen for the Orioles showing lively stuff when in the zone while striking out four batters. The fastball sat 80-83 mph with life out of the hand and seemingly more velocity on the way as he matures into the frame, while spinning a 1/7 curveball at 68-71 mph. Present stuff with more in the tank from a velocity perspective makes the left-hander a follow throughout his prep career and the ceiling will only elevate with additional control/command.

Horwath would come out of the bullpen for his Hartford squad, working two innings of scoreless baseball, collecting three strikeouts along the way. The left-handed arm showed a solid two-pitch mix that kept hitters off balance throughout his outing thanks to a deceptive 3/4s release, with an upper-70-low-80s fastball and an upper-60s breaking ball. 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame.
