| Summary: Freshcorn is an athletic right-hander with a loose, whippy arm and a low-slot delivery that creates uncomfortable angles and late life through the zone. The fastball works comfortably in the 92–96 range with carry and subtle cut, playing up thanks to extension and a deceptive release from the extreme third-base side of the rubber. It’s a pitch that misses bats at the top of the zone and holds its shape deep into outings. The sweeper is the standout secondary, showing massive horizontal depth with the ability to land it for strikes or bury it late, while an upper-80s cutter gives him a second hard look that tunnels well off the heater and steals strikes early in counts. The overall mix gives him a legitimate starter foundation, though continued development of an off-speed pitch will determine how far the profile climbs. He has experimented with a splitter that shows promise as a weapon against left-handed hitters, and adding consistency there would help round out the arsenal. Strike-throwing and athleticism are both strengths, and the delivery is fluid enough to project durability despite the unusual alignment. There’s clear weekend-rotation upside here, with a fallback of immediate bullpen impact if the changeup never fully comes, but the ingredients point toward a chance to stay in a starting role as he continues to refine the mix. | |||||||||||
