A 6-foot-5, 225-pound redshirt senior, Mitchell didn’t pitch in the 2022 season with UC San Diego thanks to Tommy John surgery, but in his return to action in 2023 he was excellent. He posted a 1.42 ERA through 10 starts and 44.1 innings, with a 23.9% strikeout rate and a miniscule 4% walk rate. Mitchell has three pitches, but primarily works with a fastball/breaking ball combination. His heater sits in the low 90s and touches 94, while his breaking ball is an upper-70s slurve-like pitch with vertical depth. Mitchell will mix in a mid-80s changeup but he uses the pitch sparingly.
