Caminiti was originally a top-ranking member of the 2025 high school class, but in June 2023 he announced his reclassification. Now one of the youngest players in the 2024 draft class, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound lefthander is the top-ranked southpaw in the high school ranks and boasts first-round talent thanks to big-time velocity from an athletic frame with advanced feel to pitch. He generates his velocity with a loose, easy and athletic operation that features a crossfire landing that adds deception. His 92-96 mph fastball is one of the best swing-and-miss heaters in the prep class, and scouts have seen him get up to 98 mph at peak. The pitch has great life, generates plenty of whiffs at the top of the zone and has a chance to develop into a 70-grade offering. Caminiti throws multiple breaking balls, but scouts believe he’s a natural pronator who struggles to consistently spin either at a high level. Both his slider and curveball register in the mid or upper 70s, with the former showing a bit of sweep and the latter more a top-down action. Caminiti has toyed with different slider looks this spring, and some scouts have been intrigued on his good days. Finding a consistent breaking ball will be a key piece of his pro development. His mid-80s changeup is his best secondary at the moment thanks to its solid armside fading life. Caminiti is committed to LSU and is the nephew of three-time all-star and 1996 National League MVP Ken Caminiti.

Scouting Reports

School: Saguaro HS, Scottsdale, Ariz. Committed: LSU
Age At Draft: 17.9
Caminiti ranked as the No. 3 player in the 2025 class, then in June 2023 he announced he was reclassifying into the 2024 class. Caminiti has two-way talent, but what he does on the mound separates himself from the pack. He boasted loud velocity from a young age and has been touching 96 mph since he was 16 years old and does it from a lean, 6-foot-2, 205-pound pitcher’s frame. Caminiti throws with an easy and fluid operation and has a bit of a crossfire landing. His best pitch is a low 90s fastball that misses plenty of bats, and he’s also flashed both a slider in the upper 70s with sweeping shape and more of a top-down curveball in the mid 70s. Both pitches are inconsistent and need more power and he tends to miss arm side or not get fully on top of them. Caminiti’s 81-84 mph arm-side fading changeup looks like a solid fourth offering in the works. There are some adjustments that need to be made, but Caminiti’s athleticism, frame, arm talent and feel for pitching point to high-upside starting potential. He is committed to LSU.
