School: Miller Place (N.Y.) HS Drafted/Committed: Clemson
Age At Draft: 18.2
Frusco is a projection lefthander who’s easy to dream on thanks to his 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame and relative youth. He turned 18 in May but has already been up to 93 mph with his fastball and sits in the 88-91 range. His velocity should improve in the near future, and he also has flashed feel to spin a low-80s slider, which is his best secondary pitch. He has mixed in the rare low-80s changeup, but that pitch needs plenty of refinement. The New York native was initially committed to Rutgers before flipping to Clemson.
