Mack spin -
Sims became an overnight super-prospect during the finals of the College World Series. He dominated out of the pen against Vanderbilt and helped his team win the championship.
He easily is the best closer in college, though I am sure they will convert him to a starter this year.
I have him as my 5th RHP and the Mets pick with their second pick in the 2022 draft.

24. Landon Sims
Right-Handed Pitcher, Mississippi State
There may not be another arm in the 2022 class built more equipped for the modern meta than Landon Sims. It’s a truly explosive arm with mammoth data. The fastball has been clocked as high as 97 with exceptional ride. Couple this with Sims natural feel for command the ball to the top of the zone and you’ve got a pretty loud heater. He supplements the big fastball with a firm two-plane breaking ball he commands glove-side with consistency. It’s easy to project more in the tank with Sims thanks to his athleticism and light innings to this point. He was nimble enough to handle the infield in high school. Sims will need to prove he can handle more innings and extended outings in 2022, but it’s a high ceiling with an extremely high-leverage floor.

Landon Sims, RHP, Mississippi State
Sims was dominant out of the Mississippi State bullpen as a sophomore this spring. He figures to slide into the starting rotation as a junior, potentially taking over the No. 1 spot. The 6-foot-2, 216-pound righty uses a fastball, slider combination to overpower hitters. His fastball sits in the mid-90s. He also has notable command and control of his pitches.

Explosive arm. Up to 97 as a prep. Enough athleticism to handle the infield in his high school career. Breaking ball is developing but can get loopy. High ceiling, high leverage arm.
