Commit/Drafted: Texas Tech
Age At Draft: 19
Heuer is an extra-large righthander with a 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame. He throws from a short and compact arm action and three-quarter slot with plenty of arm strength and an in-line finish to the plate. He has a solid fastball that sat around 91-92 mph during 2022 and touched 95 mph at peak, and this spring has been up to 96-97. He previously threw a mid-70s curveball as his go-to breaking ball but during the offseason he began to experiment more with a harder slider—though both iterations of the breaking ball need continued development. He will also mix in a firm, upper-80s changeup that has a bit of fading life. Heuer pitched in the 92-95 mph range at the MLB Draft Combine in June, and he missed a few bats with his fastball, though he continued to show a below-average breaking ball that needs more touch and feel and sharper breaking action. Heuer is on the older end for the class and turns 19 right before the draft. He’s committed to Texas Tech.
