Draft Prospects
-
School: St. John’ s Country Day HS, Orange Park, Fla. Commit/Drafted: Florida
Age At Draft: 19.2
Sandford is a lanky, long-armed pitcher with a 6-foot-6, 215-pound frame and a lively, riding fastball that sits 91-95 mph and has touched 96. Sandford’s extension and the riding life on the pitch all help it play up and sneak over barrels at the top of the zone. In a 184-pitch sample in 2023, Sandford generated a 51% miss rate with his fastball, which is a great mark, and he used the pitch to generate five whiffs in one inning at Perfect Game’s All-American Classic. Sandford throws an upper-70s curveball most frequently after the fastball, though he will also mix in a mid-80s slider that has short, cutterish action and a low-80s changeup. Sandford has less feel for each of his secondaries compared to his fastball. His long levers and lengthy arm action create some timing issues and lead to below-average control that he’ll need to refine moving forward. Sandford will be 19 on draft day and is committed to Florida.
