| Summary: Cunningham is a genuine two-way prospect where both sides of the evaluation carry real weight. At the plate, the big right-handed swing generates frequent triple-digit exit velocities and consistent hard contact with the kind of impact strength that produces middle-of-the-order projection — the swing has length but shows adjustability, and the raw power is loud enough to carry a first base profile at the next level. On the mound, a low-90s fastball and a miss-inducing slider give him the foundation of a legitimate pitching prospect rather than a position player who can also throw. The stuff is already advanced enough to keep the pitching path fully alive, and continued velocity development would push the ceiling on that side considerably. The 50/50 nature of the evaluation is genuine rather than a hedge — both paths lead to legitimate outcomes and the decision doesn’t need to be forced yet. A 2027 two-way prospect with this kind of power projection and pitching foundation is a profile that will generate significant attention as the collegiate career gets underway. | |||||||||||
