Age At Draft: 19.0
BA Grade: 50/Extreme
Mitchell is a high-waisted athlete with a lean and projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds and stuff to dream on. He pitched with USA Baseball’s 18U National team in 2024 and works with a repeatable delivery that features a bit of crossfire action and a fast arm speed that comes from a high three-quarters slot. Mitchell gets behind his fastball nicely and sits in the low 90s with the pitch but has gotten it as high as 94 mph. It looks like a potential swing-and-miss offering at the top of the zone. Mitchell pairs the fastball with a hammer curveball in the upper 70s that has great spin, snap and depth. It’s a potential plus offering that should help him complete an exciting north-south attack. Mitchell also throws a low-to-mid-80s changeup with good arm speed but has mostly pitched off the fastball/curveball combination. He has the athleticism and delivery to become a solid strike-thrower as he gains strength and learns how to more consistently repeat his delivery. Mitchell impressed scouts early in his senior spring season, but also missed time with shoulder fatigue, which could cloud his draft status. He’s committed to Texas.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 60 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 50.

Age At Draft: 19.0
A slender 6-foot-3, 165 pounds, Mitchell pitches from an easy delivery, has good arm action and the ball comes out of his hand cleanly. His fastball has been up to 92 mph and he has the physical projection to throw harder once he adds more weight. Mitchell is able to get swing-and-miss with both his fastball and curveball, attacking hitters up in the zone with his heater and changing eye levels with his curveball. It’s a hard curve at 77-79 mph that he shows feel to spin and has sharp snap to be able to miss bats against more advanced hitters. Strikes for Mitchell have been inconsistent, but getting stronger should help him both enhance his stuff and potentially repeat his delivery more often.
