View Draft Report
Ahlstrom showed the ability to compete the moment he stepped on Oregon’s campus, with a 5-7, 3.93 mark with 61 strikeouts and 20 walks in 73.1 innings in 2019 as a freshman. He struggled in the truncated 2020 season, but has taken a step forward in 2021, posting an 8-3, 2.41 mark with 9.4 strikeouts per nine and a 1.6 walk rate in 82 innings. At 6-foot-2, 179 pounds from the left side, Ahlstrom isn’t flashy, with a fastball that sits 88-89 mph and tops out at 92, but he consistently throws the pitch for strikes. The same is true of his curveball and changeup, which are both average offerings, and he commands all three pitches effectively. Evaluators have given Ahlstrom praise for his feel to pitch, as well as his ability to pound the strike zone, and he loves to compete, with a fiery presence on the mound.
