Analysis:
Chase Mobley initially gained attention at the WWBA World Championship. The soon-to-be former Florida State Seminoles commit is lanky and lean with room for physical projection for growth and strength. On the mound, he features a low three-quarters arm slot with a (short) quick arm action through his delivery. He has added strength and increased strike-throwing ability. Mobley displays a four-pitch arsenal, his fastball sits low-to-mid 90s and is up to 99 mph with natural movement. His secondary pitches consist of a mid-80s slider, a mid-70s curveball, and a fading split-change in the 80s. Mobley has immense upside and potential to develop into a mid-rotation arm or better.
Pre-draft profile: Big projectable arm (6’5, 190) and good arm speed. Already topping out at 96. Young for class (still 17 on draft date). Somewhat of a violent arm action, though his backswing is short. Tight power slider and developing changeup. Easy bet to be a day one arm.
Future Projections:
Fastball- 60
Slider- 50
Curveball- 45
Change-up- 55
Command- 45
