Bryce Hutchinson

Hutchinson has shown electric stuff in flashes. In short bursts, his fastball can work up to 95 mph with sinking action, though he tends to pitch mostly in the low 90s. Hutchinson backs it up with a sharp, low-80s slider that projects as an above-average pitch. Standing at 6-foot-6, he's a physical specimen, and his imposingly broad shoulders and golden locks evoke physical comparisons to Noah Syndergaard. Hutchinson has a full, fluid arm action and generates above average arm speed. He'll need to improve his consistency; his fastball can sometimes dip into the upper 80s and lack life and his breaking ball hasn't always been there when scouts have gone to see him this spring. Hutchinson's high ceiling and impressive late performance could entice a team to take a shot at signing him, or he could honor his Mississippi State commitment and try to boost his draft stock in college.
