View Draft Report

A physical, 6-foot-2, 215-pound righthander, Weston was a second team All Big Ten Conference pitcher in 2021, when he posted a 2.81 ERA over 14 starts and 83.1 innings. His 2022 season wasn’t quite as sharp despite a better strikeout rate, and he posted a 4.74 ERA over 11 starts and 81.2 innings, with some work out of the bullpen included. Weston sits around 90-91 with his fastball but has been up to 96 this spring, and he also throws a low-80s split-change and slider, with the changeup used more frequently and thrown for strikes more often of the two secondaries. Following the spring season with Michigan, Weston pitched 21.1 innings in the Cape Cod League, posting a 0.84 ERA and striking out 21 batters while walking just five.

Top Rankings

Weston only became eligible for the 2021 draft when it was moved back to July, thanks to a birthday in August. A short righthander listed at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Weston was lights out as a reliever for Michigan in the shortened 2020 season and made a successful transition to a starting role this spring. He posted a 2.81 ERA over 83.1 innings and 14 starts, with 69 strikeouts (7.5 K/9) and 29 walks (3.1 BB/9). He has a solid, but unspectacular, three-pitch mix, including a fastball that sits in the 90-92 mph range and touches 95, a fringy breaking ball around 80 mph and a changeup in the upper 70s and low 80s that might be his best overall pitch. He goes to it regularly and can land it down in the zone to both sides of the plate. There’s no carrying tool or pitch with Weston, nor is there significant physical projection, but he’s young for the class and shows solid pitching ability.
