Levi Stoudt

A 6-foot-1 righthander with a simple, clean delivery, Stoudt has been a solid presence in Lehigh’s starting rotation for three years, posting a 2.97 ERA through his first 34 starts. Stoudt pitches off of a plus fastball that’s in the 91-95 mph range, with an athletic, repeatable delivery and consistent release point. Stoudt has a split-changeup that is currently an averaging offering, and he’s shown a breaking ball that can be solid-average at times. However, he’s experimented with different grips on his breaking ball, so he’ll need to improve the consistency of the offering moving forward. There are plenty of starter’s traits with Stoudt, even if he doesn’t have top-end pure stuff, and he’ll need to improve his secondaires to increase his potential upside. While Stoudt has put up consistent numbers over three years in the Patriot League, he also showed solid stuff last summer over in the Cape Cod League, despite the fact that his control backed up severely in that 25-inning stretch. Stoudt walked 5.68 batters per nine innings last summer, but he’s never walked more than 3.21 batters per nine innings while pitching for Lehigh.
