Yoder is a big, physical righthander with a 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and some of the best present velocity in the 2025 prep class. He’s got an unconventional delivery that includes a short leg kick, a drop-and-drive action with his lower half and a long and stiff arm action that comes from an over-the-top slot. Yoder’s delivery has some effort and might add to his reliever risk, but there’s no denying his arm talent. He sits in the mid 90s regularly and has touched 99, with the look of a pitcher who will soon be touching triple digits regularly. His primary breaking ball is a low-80s curveball with downer, 12-to-6 movement and solid depth. It could become an average offering, but it’s also one that shows out of his hand early at times and can be inconsistent. Yoder also throws a changeup in the 80-85 mph range that is in the early stages of development but has flashed some solid dropping action. Yoder’s control and command needs to improve for him to profile as a starter, but he could have a fairly platoon-neutral three-pitch mix if he can make strides in that department. He’s committed to Virginia and fits in the 3-6 round range on talent.

Yoder is a big and physical righthander with a 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and power stuff to match it. He was one of the most impressive pitchers at the 2024 East Coast Pro showcase, where he threw a fastball in the 92-97 mph range and touched 98 with command that came and went. He spins a low-80s power curveball with depth and hard biting action, and will also mix in a mid-80s changeup that is currently a bit behind his fastball/curveball combination.
