Draft Prospects

School: UC Santa Barbara. Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.0.
Aceves is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound draft-eligible sophomore who moved into UC Santa Barbara’s rotation in 2026 after working primarily as a freshman reliever. He sits 93-95 and touches 97 with a fastball that shows run and ride on a relatively flat plane. His go-to offspeed is a mid-to-high-80s kick changeup with heavy fade, which he added before the 2026 season. He also mixes a curveball and slider, though both are below-average pitches and there are concerns about his feel for spin. Aceves is an above-average athlete who creates solid extension, working from a crossfire, three-quarters delivery with a high leg lift and overhead hand swing out of the windup. -
