| Summary: In an era of extra Covid years and draft eligible sophomores, young college guys are rare, but that is just what you get in DeCaro. He will only be a couple months past his 20th birthday on draft day in 2026, meaning there will be more than a few draft eligible sophomores a year older than him, but none will have the experience as he will likely be going into his third season as the North Carolina Friday night starter. He has an easy delivery that allows him to handle a starter’s workload to go along with a frame that still holds plenty of projection. The fastball sits in the low-90s but will get into the mid-90s at times with life. He lacks a changeup but does feature two breaking balls. The slider has good two plane depth, although it lacks sharpness. His curveball is much bigger although it sits in a similar low-80s velo bracket. He commands all his pitches well, but could certainly use a pitch to play off the fastball better and more separation between the two breaking balls to give him a chance to establish himself as the top college arm in the class. | |||||||||||
