  Sharman can befuddle hitters with an excellent fastball/changeup combination. He’s a 6-foot-3 righthander who generates good extension and throws strikes at a high clip with a heavy, tailing fastball that touches 94 mph from his low three-quarters slot. It’s a good fastball for his age, but what separates Sharman is arguably the best changeup of any high school pitcher in the country. It’s a Bugs Bunny changeup that parachutes out of his hand, peeling off his fastball with more than 10 mph of separation. It features late tumble and fade, at times generating more than 20 inches of horizontal run. The changeup is plus now with a chance to get even better. Sharman leans heavily on his changeup—he will double and triple up on the pitch at times—and he commands it well, throwing an occasional hesitation in his delivery to further disrupt hitters’ timing. His slider is a third pitch that will need more development, but his fastball, changeup and control have enabled him to carve through lineups.
