2024 14U Atlantic Coast All-State Games (Invite Only)
Josiah Rau is a 2027 RHP/1B/OF with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Greenville, SC who attends Eastside. Medium build with some present strength. Works from a full wind up with a compact 3/4's arm action, simple mechanics he repeats well. Fastball was in the mid 70's and topped out at 76 mph, mostly straight. Uses his slider frequently and can add and subtract on the velocity and change the shape. Change up was a solid offering with good arm speed. Tries to mix and has the pitches to do that and that will be the path to his future success. 7.49 runner in the sixty. Secondary outfielder, step by step actions, similar arm action to what he has on the mound. Right handed hitter, starts with a narrow stance with a short toe tapper timer, short swing with tight hands and an all fields approach, high contact swing approach that worked well in the games. Excellent student.
