RHP Angel Cervantes - Warren (CA)

Projection, Projection, projection. That’s the name of the game for Cervantes, who is one of the youngest players in the 2025 MLB Draft class. He’s got a low-90s fastball that is usually around 92-93 mph. He can work it down in the zone on both sides of the plate. 

There is a lot of room for growth in his frame, leading you to believe that he could reach the mid-90s soon. He’s got an advanced feel for his secondaries, especially his changeup, which is probably his best pitch. He tops his pitch mix off with a curveball that varies shape occasionally. It’s got plenty of spin. The delivery is fairly smooth and polished for a kid his age.

RHP Angel Cervantes put together the loudest outing of today, striking out five in his two innings.

FB sat 92-94 with late run, but advanced secondaries stole show. Varied shape on CB at 77-80 with loud spin and CH was above-average, hitting the brakes hard. Easy motions.

2024 National Showcase 

Angel Cervantes is a 2025 RHP/1B/3B with a 6-2 190 lb. frame from Lynwood, CA who attends Warren. Long and strong build with physical projection remaining. Has a long and whippy arm action from a 3/4's arm slot. Fastball sat in the low 90's and topped out at 93 mph with big sink and run. Change up was an outstanding pitch with advanced feel and big fade up to 18", created lots of swing/miss on left handed hitters with the change up. 

Primary breaking ball was a big sweeping slider with up to 18" of sweep, also showed the feel to top of it at times for more of an 11/5 shape. Strike thrower with feel for all his pitches. Showed prospect potential as a hitter as well, big leg raise to start his swing, loads to his back side and lifts and pulls, long and strong swing that worked for him. Verbal commitment to UCLA. Selected to play in the Perfect Game All-American Classic.
