Hess has a power-heater, but it doesn't have much carry. He pounds the zone with it and at 93-97 in college it performs. It's a touch better than average for now. His command of it makes it play better and it might be a future 60 pitch. His secondaries are solid, but he lacks command of them. His slider in the mid-80s is above-average, his curveball at 75-79 is average, and his low-80s changeup is around average. An uptick in feel for secondaries would push him into the first round, for now he's on the edge.

Quick was great for Alabama as a freshman in 2023, sitting 95 mph on his fastball while flashing solid change-up and slider profiles. He threw just 3 innings in 2024 due to an elbow injury, and eventual surgery, but has been up to 99 mph so far this spring. If things fall into place for Quick this spring there’s very much a day 1 pick upside for him.

Petruz has a great feel for the barrel and ran an in-zone whiff rate below 10% while also walking more than he struck out. He's headed to Alabama alongside his head coach at Maryland. His hit tool is above-average, but he doesn't always hit the ball at the best angles and so he ran into some rough luck with a .241 BABIP. He has average bat speed and average power, and the hit tool could end up being a 60-grade. He's likely a left fielder but left-handed thump with a good hit tool is coveted by everybody.

Adams is eligible again as a sophomore after drawing draft interest as a prep in 2023. While the fastball was in the low-90s, peaking at 94 mph, he’s an athletic lefty with projection left on the frame and more velocity to come. He shapes two breaking balls: a slider and a curveball, which both project as solid-average offerings. His change-up is a relatively unique profile, getting 16” of vertical break and 4” of arm-side, an almost identical profile to his fastball.
