2019 National Indoor Showcase
Austin Young is a 2021 RHP/OF with a 6-6 180 lb. frame from Saint Peters, MO who attends Ft Zumwalt East. Very tall well proportioned athletic build, very projectable physically. Has well coordinated mechanics and actions on the mound, big flexible leg lift delivery with a long stride out front, loses some angle with his stride length but gets very good extension to the plate, arm works well from an extended 3/4's arm slot. Low 80's fastball, topped out at 83 mph, works low in the zone consistently and misses low when he misses, very consistent release point, lots more velocity there with physical maturity. Showed some spin and big 11/5 shape on a soft curveball, occasionally doesn't get out front on his curveball due to his stride length but has feel for the pitch and throws it for strikes. Very projectable young right hander. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow open stance with a long and rotational swing, some leverage at contact. 7.43 runner. Named to the National Indoor Showcase Top Prospect List.
