Levonas is an athletic New Jersey high school righthander with long limbs, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame and a fast, whippy arm that gives him exciting future projection. During the 2023 summer, he pitched with plenty of effort, including an aggressive head whack and fall-off to the first base side of the mound. Since then he has done a nice job adding strength and removing some of the violence in his delivery. Levonas throws a fastball in the 90-95 mph range and has been up to 97 this spring and could easily touch triple digits in the future as he adds more mass to his still-lean frame. In addition to a plus fastball, Levonas has a trio of quality secondary pitches, including a high-spin slider in the low 80s and a 12-to-6 hammer curveball in the upper 80s that also features plenty of spin and biting action. Both the breaking pitches could be above-average or plus, and Levonas will also mix in a firm upper-80s changeup that will flash significant armside fading life and looks like a quality offering against lefties. Levonas carries reliever risk thanks to his scattered control and the effort still in his delivery, but he has huge upside and has been scouted like a top-three rounds pick this spring. He’s committed to Wake Forest.
