    A 6-foot-4, 205-pound projection righty committed to Georgia, Childers has shown a solid three-pitch mix, headlined by a fastball that’s been into the low 90s with impressive life. Childers has dealt with a shoulder issue that has limited his innings this spring, and when he returned to the mound his stuff wasn’t quite as crisp, with his heater in the upper-80s. Childers has a good arm action and delivery, with a solid breaking ball in the 78-82 mph range and has shown a low-80s changeup as well. His father, Matt, was a big league pitcher for short stints with the Brewers and Braves. Childers is committed to Georgia.
