Pike is a two-way player with pro upside on both sides of the ball. He’s a 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander with a high-spin arsenal on the mound and also a switch-hitting shortstop with impressive athleticism. While Pike has potential on both sides of the ball, his upside might be a tick higher on the mound—where he’s also a bit more polished. He throws a fastball in the 90-95 mph range and has been up to 97, with tons of spin on the pitch and both a four-seam and two-seam variant. His go-to breaking pitch is a low-80s slider with solid two-plane break and above-average potential, but he’ll also mix in a mid-80s changeup that will need more reps to become a reliable third pitch. Pike has a history of scattered strike-throwing, but scouts noted that he did a solid job filling the zone at times during his senior season at Puyallup High. On the offensive side, Pike is a switch-hitter with gap power and quick hands, but his swing could use more polish from both sides of the plate. He’s got good body control and hands in the infield, but as a below-average runner he might be better suited for third base, where his huge arm would fit. Pike is committed to Oregon State and could play on both sides of the ball there, but he also could turn pro as a top-three-rounds talent.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 40 | Power: 45 | Run:40 | Field: 50 | Arm: 60. Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 45.

Pike has stood out both as a position player and a pitcher. Pike has a short swing with quick hands from both sides of the plate. His bat path can cut in and out of the zone too quickly, but he has shown the ability to turn around high-end velocity with solid bat-to-ball skills and gap power. At shortstop, Pike can be inconsistent, but he’s an instinctive defender who has quick feet, fluid actions and a plus arm with the body control to make difficult plays from different angles. Pike’s athleticism and arm strength plays well on the mound, where he has been up to 97 mph. Pike leans heavily on his fastball, but he has shown feel for a low-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup with good fade.
