| Summary: King attacks hitters with a lively fastball that sits in the low-to-mid 90s and has reached 96, holding velocity deep into outings. He works from a low three-quarters slot with a quick, loose arm and the kind of easy effort that suggests more velocity is still in the tank. The slider at 82–83 shows sharp, late break and has the makings of a future plus offering, while the changeup in the mid-to-upper 80s features real tumble and fade, giving him a legitimate weapon against lefties. There’s projection left in the frame and polish in his approach—he repeats well and already shows flashes of advanced fastball command. While he can occasionally overthrow and lose feel, the foundation for a three-pitch starter is clear. With continued physical growth and refinement, King has the traits of a weekend rotation anchor and potential frontline arm at peak. | |||||||||||
