School: Coronado HS (CO)                                                        Position(s): RHP
Height: 6’5″                      Weight: 225 lbs.                       Bats: Right                        Throws: Right
Pitches:
Fastball: Mid 90s, touched 101. Plenty of run and sink. Could be considered a sinker rather than FB. Plus velo, plus shape, plus run, plus pitch.
Slider: 84-89, 2700 spin, heavy downward break. Good arm speed/deception. Tunnels well with FB. Above-average potential
Changeup: High 80s to low 90s, rarely used.

Delivery/Mechanics: 3/4 to lower. Strong body uses legs well. Hips can fly open and arm lag behind body. Will miss arm-side. Power approach leads to inconsistent command. Plenty of late effort. Has the body to start but carries reliever risk.
Other: University of Virginia Commit.
Summary: With a plus fastball that just recently touched triple digits for the first time and above-average slider to go with is, Gregory-Alford has as good a 1-2 mix as any prep arm in the 2024 class. How high he is drafted and his future role will depend on his ability to show feel for a third pitch (currently a rarely used change) and improving his command. He served as the closer for Team USA over the summer and dominated in the role. While the reliever risk is big, he could be a dominant high leverage reliever at the back of any bullpen. May be an arm, demeanor, and body that fits best out of the pen, but the upside in that role is still very high.
