Drafted in the 6th round (186th overall) by the Seattle Mariners in 2019 (signed for $500,000).
View Draft Report
A 6-foot-2, 180-pound righthander out of New York, Limoncelli is one of the most interesting prep prospects from the state thanks to a fast arm and his feel to spin a breaking ball. Last summer at the East Coast Pro showcase, Limoncelli used that breaker—a mid- to upper-70s curveball—as a real swing-and-miss offering and threw his fastball in the 89-93 mph range in front of scouting directors and high-level crosscheckers. There are some starter/reliever questions with Limoncelli because of his smaller size and the fact that he throws with a decent amount of effort, and his stuff in the spring hasn't been quite as electric as it was over the summer. Previously a Pittsburgh commit, Limoncelli is now committed to Coastal Carolina.
