Draft Prospects

School: Mountain Ridge HS, Glendale, Ariz. Commit/Drafted: Arizona
Age At Draft: 18.9
Bailey is an extra-large righthander with a 6-foot-6, 205-pound frame that still has more room for strength gains. Bailey throws with an extremely long, extended arm action and is overly scattered at times with all three of his pitches, but he has flashed solid stuff that should continue to tick up and was the most dominant high school pitcher at the MLB Draft combine’s high school game. He pitches in the 89-92 mph range and has been up to 95 with solid arm-side running life and has added more power to a breaking ball that previously had a curveball look in the mid 70s and is now a hard, low-80s swing-and-miss slider. He also has a mid-80s changeup that looks like a strong third pitch for his arsenal. Bailey is committed to Arizona.

He pitches in the 89-92 mph range and has been up to 94 with solid arm-side running life, and has also mixed in a mid-70s curveball with solid spin rates that needs more power and bite and a low-80s changeup that looks like a potentially average pitch with more reps. Bailey is committed to Arizona.
