Age at Draft: 21.1
Wright is a 6-foot, 170-pound lefthander who missed the 2022 season with Cal Poly thanks to injury, but has slowly become a reliable starter two years later. He throws a low-90s fastball that touches 95 from a loose and easy delivery, and also has solid feel to spin both a low-80s slider and upper-70s curveball. Both breaking balls have generated strong miss rates for him in 2024, and he has also flashed a harder cutter in the mid-to-upper 80s that has given him another reliable secondary. Wright’s control is scattered, which leads to starter/reliever questions, though he has made a sizable step forward in that area from 2023 to 2024.
