| Summary: The arm strength jumps immediately with Hawk, whose fastball has been up to 99 and consistently sits mid-to-upper 90s with big extension and late life that lets it miss bats above the zone. The delivery is loose and whippy from a low three-quarters slot, creating tough angle and deception. His slider has taken a real step forward, now showing consistent depth in the low-to-mid 80s and flashing true plus potential when he finishes it. A changeup is present and shows arm-side tail, but it remains the least-used offering in game. The foundation here is starter quality, with three pitches that can play at a high level if the usage and command continue to tighten. The fastball/slider combination already overwhelms hitters, and more consistent trust in the changeup would help neutralize left-handed bats and lengthen outings. With easy velocity, improving secondary feel, and a delivery that allows him to repeat, the upside points toward a power starter whose ceiling hinges on refining pitch mix balance rather than adding stuff. | |||||||||||
