2027 MLB Draft: Cameron Bagwell, RHP, Wake Forest

Player: Cameron Bagwell
School: Wake ForestPosition(s): RHP
Height: 6’5″Weight: 210 lbs.Bats: RightThrows: Right
Summary:
A tall, high-waisted right-hander with a starter’s frame and a delivery built more on rhythm and repeatability than raw explosiveness. The fastball generally works in the low 90s, sitting 91–93 most looks, with past peaks into the mid-90s suggesting more in the tank as strength and intent continue to come. The pitch plays off command more than pure life right now, but he shows the ability to move it around the zone and work ahead consistently. The operation is low effort and durable, allowing him to stack strikes and manage pitch counts, even if the delivery doesn’t generate loud downhill plane yet.

The arsenal is deeper than most arms at this stage, with multiple usable secondaries that give him real starter shape. The slider is the most reliable weapon, thrown in the low 80s with tight shape and consistent strike quality, while a cutter, curveball, and changeup each show enough feel to stay in the mix depending on count and matchup. The changeup flashes as a potential separator with more conviction, and the overall ability to throw five pitches for strikes stands out. As the body fills out and the delivery gains a bit more explosiveness, Bagwell profiles as a projection starter whose value is tied to pitchability, depth of mix, and steady strike-throwing rather than pure velocity.
