Righthander Doug Waechter pitched in six big league seasons in the 2000s, mostly with Tampa Bay. His son, Kaden, is a promising righthander in the 2026 high school class. He has a balanced, under control delivery, advanced pitchability for his age and throws strikes at a high clip, giving him a starter look. He pitches off a fastball that can touch 92 mph and has a projectable 6-foot-3 frame that points to more velocity still to come. Waechter has a lively fastball that he pitches with often to his arm side and attacks hitters inside more than most pitchers his age. He can then get whiffs with a low-80s slider that he shows feel to spin and is ahead of his changeup.
