Cole Selvig (Wisconsin HS 2023, RHP) (DOB: 9/30/2004)
Selvig has a pretty generic, medium frame that isn’t oozing with projection, but despite lacking a build to dream on, he does control his body well and there looks to be significant athleticism present upon my first viewing of him. He has solid hip/shoulder separation upon foot strike, which gives extra reason to believe there’s more velocity in the tank for him in the future. Selvig throws from a high slot and has advanced feel for repeating his delivery. He showed a three pitch mix in his four-seam FB, CB, and CH.
His FB (91-93) had some run to it, and though I didn’t see anything plus in regard to movement and life on the offering, I also didn’t see anything that makes me down on the pitch either. He battled his feel for the CB (75-79) the handful of times he threw it and at times it showed short, 12/6 shape but also had a tendency to get slurvey when he was on the side of it. He maintained his FB arm speed when throwing his CH (82-83) which flashed late bottom action when at its best. Selvig is definitely on my follow list going forward.
Parker Detmers (Illinois HS 2023, RHP) (DOB: 12/22/2004)
Detmers has a pretty sizeable frame at 6’4, 215lbs at present, but there still looked to be some room for additional strength on the bones in the future as well as the natural man-strength he’ll grow into. He throws from a H 3/4 slot and has a FB/CB/CH mix.
Detmers was 89-91 with his FB and pounded the zone with the offering, although it’s obvious the control is far ahead of the feel for command, there were several center-cut FB’s in his inning of work. His CB (76-78) showed some teeth to it along with 12/6 shape. Detmers also flashed a CH (77-78) that showed both fade and sink to it. His stuff is sharp enough to follow and caught my eye in this first look.
Kaiden Wilson (Missouri HS 2023, LHP) (DOB: 5/20/2004)
First look at Wilson for me. He is a medium framed southpaw who flashed a sharp two-pitch arsenal in his inning of work. Wilson throws from a H 3/4 slot and the two offerings in his pitch-mix are a FB and CB. Wilson for sure appears to have room for more strength on his bones in the future. He has a pretty simple operation along with a quick arm.
His fastball, a four-seamer, showed solid carry through the zone which allowed his heater that sat 89-91 mph to play up and generate whiffs in the zone. His CB (70-72) routinely showed quality tightness and bite to go along with the deep 12/6 shape. His ability to land it varied but is an arm to keep tabs on because of the future velocity on the FB and his ability to already break off a CB with the amount of teeth he showed in this event.
Anson Seibert (Kansas HS 2024, RHP) (DOB: 7/20/2005)
Seibert is a 6’8 right-hander, there’s strength potential on the frame, and his FB that sits in the mid-90’s shows 2500 RPM spin at times. These things alone are enough for Seibert to be a high priority follow going forward. It’s a pretty lean frame that obviously has room for weight in the future. He throws out of a H 3/4 slot and has a compact arm circle. The stride is pretty short, especially from someone his size, which looked to limit his extension, but he only threw the one frame. I didn’t make it down the line to get a side look, but that will be one of the first things I do the next time I see Seibert.
He worked mainly with a four-seamer but looked to flash a few sinkers as well, and ranged between 91-94. The four-seam had some fuzz on it through the zone and as noted above, showed some plus spin. I didn’t see much tightness out of the 3/4 shaped SL (81-84) in this outing and he also showed a CH (82-85) that had some fading action and was an offering he was able to maintain his FB arm speed when throwing. Hoping to see some sharper secondary stuff in my next look, but there’s plenty to dream on with Seibert.
Weston Rouse (Oklahoma HS 2023, LHP) (DOB: 1/21/2004)
Rouse is a large framed southpaw who measures 6’7, which he does a nice job of utilizing when getting extended down the slope. At times he had some issues repeating his delivery, but for the most part handled his long build well. Rouse throws from an OH slot and utilized a fastball/breaking ball combination.
The FB (87-90) played above its radar reading due to the already mentioned extension which gives his heater extra carry through the zone, and also showed running action. The FB command isn’t real fine, but he did fill the zone up with consistency. His CB (73-75) didn’t have significant bite but had quality 1/7 shape that really gave LH batters issues, and Rouse flashed some feel for landing the offering. I hope to see a little more from the breaking ball in my next look but Rouse showed enough to be an appealing arm to follow going forward.
