16. Adam Hachman, LHP, Timberland HS (MO) – Hachman is very much a high ceiling, low floor prospect as he has electric stuff, but incredibly inconsistent. He is 6’5” and just over 200 lbs., with a short arm back into a good extension 3/4 slot delivery with a healthy leg kick and good leg drive, there are a lot of moving parts that too often find themselves out of sync for consistent results currently. The fastball might be the best of any lefty in the class as it sits 92-95 with plenty of projection to increase in time and he has the making of a solid curve and change. If Hachman can show better command and feel for the offspeed in the Spring, he will rocket up boards, if he continues to struggle with consistency, he is a risky pick but sky is the limit given that fastball.

#41 Adam Hachman
LHP, Timberland (MO)
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 45 | Overall: 50
Hachman offers more upside than any left-hander in the 2023 Draft and has a chance to become the first Missouri prep pitcher taken in the first round since Jacob Turner in 2009. He barely pitched during his high school junior season because of a forearm strain and struggled to throw strikes at the outset of the showcase circuit, but he rebounded to repeatedly push his fastball to the upper 90s by the end of the summer. He also served as one of the top relievers on the U.S. team that won the 18-and-under World Cup in September.
Hachman's fastball sat at 94-97 mph and topped out at 99 later at the East Coast Pro Showcase, and its outstanding induced vertical break coming out of his high arm slot makes it even tougher to hit. There's the potential for more velocity as he fills out his 6-foot-5 frame. He also flashes a plus curveball with power and depth, though it lacks consistency in terms of quality and strikes.
Primarily a fastball pitcher at this point, Hachman also owns a rudimentary mid-80s changeup. He doesn't have the smoothest delivery, though it also doesn't have any glaring red flags and the hope is that he'll develop average control once he adds more strength and experience. An Arkansas recruit, he comes with reliever risk but also a legitimate swing-and-miss fastball.

Adam Hachman
Timberland
Hachman offers one of the better fastballs in the entire prep class, especially as a left hander. Operating out of an over-the-top vertical arm slot with a ton of arm speed, the Razorbacks commit with live heavy low-90s with arm side run and has touched 95 in the past. Impressive feel for both a curveball and changeup that work well off of the fastball and miss a ton of barrels. Ton of projection left in his long levered frame combined with high-level pitchability could allow to fit that LHP profile that seems to go high in every draft class. All that said, Hachman's command has been below average in multiple looks. That'll be a key piece as we move toward July.

15. Adam Hachman, LHP, Timberland HS (Mo.)
Hachman joins Johnson as a premium southpaw on the USA Baseball staff, one who lit up radar guns at the East Coast Professional Showcase. There were reports of him flirting with triple digits, mixing in a solid low-80s breaking ball and a harder changeup.
