Age At Draft: 21.2
Belgrave redshirted in 2021 with Maryland, then appeared in 16 games in 2022 out of the bullpen, where he struggled mightily with control, with a 23.4% walk rate. He took a big step forward in that department over the summer in the Cape Cod League in 2022, and that also carried over to the 2023 season, though Belgrave remains a below-average strike-thrower overall. He posted a 6.42 ERA over 33.2 innings out of the bullpen for Maryland in 2023, with a 24.9% strikeout rate and a 16.8% walk rate. A 6-foot-4, 195-pound righthander, Belgrave has a fast arm and simple delivery. He pitches in the 93-95 mph range with his fastball and has touched 97, and also throws a low-80s sweeping slider that flashes above-average and generated a 54% miss rate this spring. Belgrave’s slider has solid late turn and depth, with spin rates in the 2,600 rpm range, and at the 2023 MLB Draft Combine he also mixed in a 91-92 mph cutter. Belgrave has a great pitcher’s frame and plenty of arm talent, but his control needs to improve significantly to make the most of it in a professional bullpen.
