Joshua Messer is a 2027 OF/LHP/1B with a 5-9 155 lb. frame from Lake Havasu City, AZ who attends Lake Havasu. Medium, athletic frame with narrow shoulders and a lean build, some present strength with additional room to fill. Ran a 7.27 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, moves well to the ball and plays with real intent, works through the ball with lower half and utilizes a bigger crow hope, smooth actions with a clean release, ball comes out of hand well and up to 88 mph with carry and accuracy. Works exclusively from the stretch, moves well down the mound with tempo and pace, clean delivery with compact arm, works to a three-quarters release. Fastball topped out at 84 mph works around the zone well and attacked hitters; tight spin and quality depth to the curveball up to 67 mph, nice present feel to land it. Left-handed hitter, begins with an upright and narrow stance with a high hand set and lower back elbow at the plate. Utilizes a shorter stride moving into contact, coils the lower half well and remains direct to the ball with swing path. Tight turns, shows some impact to the pull side with a consistent feel for the barrel. Very good student.
