Outside of Chase Burns, Arnold was the best pitcher in the ACC during 2024. He pitched his way to a 2.98 ERA with a whopping 159 strikeouts to just 26 walks across 105.2 innings. Arnold attacks from a low three-quarters slot and his stuff has taken a major step forward. His fastball has been up to 97 mph with upwards of 21 inches of run, and it explodes from a lower release height. In addition to his thunderous heater, Arnold’s slider is a bonafide plus pitch with plenty of sweep and sharpness. He is among the favorites to be the first arm selected. -
