| Summary: Bailey was a key piece of the rotation for an Arizona team that found themselves in Omaha. My 291st ranked player in the 2024 draft wasted no time proving heading to campus was the right move as he looked every bit the part of a potential first round type guy in the future. He has a high wasted frame and a long arm path to a lower 3/4 slot and plenty of pitchability. His fastball sits 91-94 with some sink and has been up to 94. He has a slider that sits 82-84 and a fading changeup in the mid-80s. There is plenty of present stuff and a massive amount of upside that will only help to raise his stock over the next couple years. | |||||||||||
