Cleveland Guardians 2024 MLB Draft Watch List: High School Pitchers
nextyearincleveland.substack.com
RHP Joey Oakie (Ankeny, - Iowa Commit): A right handed arm on the shorter side (6’3) than you’d like from a high school arm. His body might not have a ton of projection left, but he’s well built and can get his fastball into the mid-90 already. The slider is the carrying pitch, with big sweeping movement. It’s possibly a double plus pitch and he’s shown good control with both pitches. The changeup is said to be behind a bit but the delivery seems repeatable with his athleticism. It’s a side arm looking operation that aids the slider. Iowa high school baseball doesn’t start until May, so he might be a late riser but he should be on team’s radar as a day one pick already. Iowa commit.
