View Draft Report
School: Allatoona HS, Acworth, Ga. Drafted/Committed: Georgia Tech
Age At Draft: 18.5
Underwood is a projection lefthander with a 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame, advanced feel to pitch and exciting pitch characteristics. He threw his fastball mostly in the upper 80s during the 2024 showcase circuit and topped out around 92-93 mph. He was more consistently into the low 90s during the 2025 spring season in Georgia. Underwood’s fastball has impressive riding life that could allow it to consistently play up from its velocity. He has two distinct, high-spin breaking pitches: a sweepy slider around 80 mph and a curveball with more depth a few ticks slower. He’ll also mix in a low-80s changeup and has solid strike-throwing ability that ties his four-pitch mix together. He’s committed to Georgia Tech.
