Zander Mueth
Belleville East
Mueth has emerged in a major way over the last calendar year, cementing himself as one of the top prep pitching prospects to come through Illinois since Jake Odorizzi. Listed at 6-foot-5, 190-pounds, Mueth's movement patterns down the mound are incredibly fluid and the obvious physical projection attached to his thin levers is noteworthy. He owns feel for three pitches, including a low-90s fastball and a sharp, tight slider that averaged 2,300+ RPM last winter, though his command can waver and get him in some trouble from time to time.

25. Zander Mueth, RHP, Belleville East HS (IL) – It is easy to drool over a 6’6” righty still under 200 lbs. with a sinking fastball already up 95, but there is actually some polish in the long body too. The fastball command is already pretty good and the long lovers in his low 3/4 delivery are repeatable which is more than you can say about most prep prospects with his profile. The change is currently firm with some fade but shows potential, and the slider is between 80-84 and works better as the 83-84 sharp late action version than the 80-81 bigger running version. In the end he could end up with a power sinker-power slider combo that is deadly out of the bullpen, or see that change develop and become a quality rotation piece.
