Nawrocki hammers the baseball, running a 111 mph max EV as a sophomore at Clemson. He got an ability to loft the baseball as well, posting a 22% barrel rate with an average LA of 15.8 degrees. He has some of the better bat-to-ball skills you’ll find in the class, posting above-average whiff numbers. There’s some chase to his game, which is the reason behind a 19.7% K rate, but it’s not a major issue. The contact quality has been just alright for him, as there was some launch angle variance in 2024. He’s a great athlete and has an above-average arm, but his actions may be best suited for 3B moving forward.

Jerzembeck’s fastball is relatively generic, getting 14” of vertical break with 3” of run. The draw with this profile is 2 plus secondaries, a change-up, and a slider. The slider has 18” of sweep with depth and drew whiffs 43% of the time. He throws the change-up hard at 87 mph and gets 13.5” of run, but still gets 39% whiff. The mix may profile best in the pen, but he has the stuff to be a high-leverage guy moving forward.

After a great freshman season at South Carolina there were 1-1 expectations on Petry, which may have been a bit premature. There’s a long history of performance, including a Cape Code League MVP award in 2024, but the whiffs have always been an issue. Petry’s a 35.4% whiff guy who K’d at 25.5% in 2024, with issues coming against velocity and spin. There’s power and feel for the strike-zone, but the profile looks to be 1B long term which limits my ability to be forgiving on the hit tool.
