Proksch is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound lefthander and Texas native who pitched out of Duke’s bullpen as a freshman and sophomore. His performance spiked in 2025, where he worked his way into a rotation role and became one of the Blue Devils’ most reliable arms. Proksch finished with a career-best 31.4% strikeout rate and 9.7% walk rate. He throws a three-pitch mix that includes an 89-91 mph fastball that touches 94, a sweeping slider around 80 mph and a low-80s changeup he uses far less frequently. Proksch has some deception in his delivery with a crossfire landing and a low three-quarters slot. It helped him generate impressive miss rates on all of his offerings in 2025, and he landed his fastball-slider combination for strikes at a consistent clip. He’ll need the changeup to come along—or the addition of something new—to survive as a starter in pro ball, but Proksch is trending in the right direction at the right time.
