On the other side of the heavyweight pitchers duel was 2026 Josh McFadden (Central Catholic).
The @SCFBaseball commit also showcased 5 distinct pitch shapes and dominated an excellent Butler lineup.

Prototypical starter frame & arsenal. + feel for spin with advanced pitchability. Clean delivery that continues getting better with time.
@Joshmcf12
It’s not every day you see a HS arm with a true 6-pitch arsenal.
The downside to having so many pitches (even for big leaguers) is they can blend together/lose consistency at times.
This was a rare in-season case where Josh last pitched 5 days ago and has another 3 days rest until his next start, so we were able to hop on Trackman for a 30 pitch, ~85-90% pitch design bullpen to dial in his shapes.
Pumped to watch his start on Monday and see what sticks 🦾📈
