Summary:
The delivery is what separates Bell from the typical 2028 prep arm conversation. Working from well outside the first-base rubber with a lower arm slot and a fluid, unhurried operation that produces strikes at a high rate — the arm action is loose and natural with an ease of repetition that gives the pitchability a foundation most arms this age take years to develop. The overall feel for pitching is well ahead of the developmental curve for a player who will barely be 18 on draft day.

The fastball sits low-90s and touches 93 with sink and tail, with significant velocity projection remaining in the athletic frame — the release point and approach angle create an above-average offering at current velocity with a genuine plus trajectory as the physical development arrives. The slider is the carrying secondary and among the better breaking balls in the class — big shapes with strong sweep and genuine two-plane depth that can be positioned to exploit both sides of the plate. The arm slot adjusts slightly to access the shape, and the extension isn’t quite at the fastball level, but the touch and feel for executing the pitch in different versions offset the measurable gaps and make it a legitimate weapon at this stage. The changeup eliminates spin and shows tailing action but the shape needs to develop more dynamism and the execution needs to become more consistent before it can function as a reliable weapon against right-handed hitters.

The mid-rotation ceiling is grounded in delivery quality and a slider that are already operating at a level warranting serious attention for a 2028 prospect. The velocity still to come and the advanced feel for executing multiple pitch shapes give the overall profile a trajectory that is genuinely exciting — the changeup development over the next couple of years will be the defining marker for how high the ceiling ultimately climbs.
