View Draft Report
David was a notable prep pitching prospect in the 2019 class who flashed a four-pitch arsenal and solid command. He was drafted by the D’backs in the 35th round but didn’t sign. He’s now a 6-foot-3, 195-pounder, David pitched as a starter and reliever at Southeastern this spring and posted a 1.50 ERA in 61.1 innings with 87 strikeouts to 26 walks. Following the spring he made three solid starts in the Cape Cod League. David has excellent arm speed and sits in the 94-96 mph range with his fastball. He’s been up to 98 with the pitch this year and pairs it with a tight biting slider in the mid 80s. He also throws a diving, upper-80s changeup at times but it’s a distinct third offering.

An athletic, 6-foot-3, 180-pound righthander committed to Auburn, David has a projectable frame, a terrific feel for pitching and can land a four-pitch arsenal for strikes. David pitched in the 88-91 mph range last fall in Perfect Game's Jupiter showcase, but landed an extremely consistent, 78-81 mph slider wherever he wanted throughout the outing. He spotted the pitch for strikes in the zone and expanded for swings and misses. The pitch looks just like his fastball out of his hand, which allows it to stymie batters even more. He also has good feel for a two-seam fastball with solid running life and a low-80s changeup. David's stuff backed up a tick this spring into the 85-91 mph range, and his command wasn't always as locked in as he showed in Jupiter. There are plenty of starter traits to see with David, but scouts will want to see him get stronger and improve his fastball velocity, while also ironing out some of the minor flaws in his delivery. David comes from athletic bloodlines, as his father Drew was a quarterback at Georgia and also played in the Canadian Football League.
