#100 Miguel Sime RHP, Poly Prep (NY)
AGE: 17 BATS
R THROWS R
6'
4" 235
COMMITTED: Louisiana State
Scouting
grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 55 | Control: 40 | Overall: 45
All
summer long, Sime Jr. showed off what scouts like about him, namely his arm
strength, and what concerns there are, namely his command. The New York City
native who attends Poly Prep announced his presence with authority at events
like East Coast Pro Showcase and PG National but often struggled with finding
the strike zone. At the Area Code Games, he walked the bases loaded, then
struck out the side, which looked like he was turning a corner. That trend
continued when he largely filled up the zone and struck out two at Major League
Baseball’s High School All-American Game.
A
participant in MLB Develops programs like the Breakthrough Series and Dream
Series, Sime has been lighting up radar guns for some time. He averaged over 95
mph with his heater throughout the summer and is routinely up to 98-99 mph,
touching triple digits at times. The pitch has serious life to it, and he can
sink it, with one scout calling him a “pure rock thrower.” The pitch can be so
devastating that he hasn’t always needed anything else, but he’s worked hard on
his breaking ball. He has feel to spin a 78-81 mph hard slider and landed a
good one in the zone in the All-American Game.

National Showcase
Miguel
Sime Jr is a 2025 RHP/1B with a 6-3 235 lb. frame from Queens Village, NY who
attends Poly Prep Country Day. Big and strong physical build. Throws from a big
rocker step start into a high leg raise over the rubber, off line arm action in
back to a high 3/4's arm slot, pulls down hard into release, lots of variables
in his delivery that can be simplified for more consistency. Fastball topped
out at 98 mph with lots of life at times. Threw a big sweeping curveball as his
breaking ball. Big arm who is still learning to throw strikes consistently but
has a high ceiling if he can. Good student, verbal commitment to Louisiana
State. Named to play in the Perfect Game All-American Classic.

Finally,
the Jared and Tyler are joined by Miguel Sime Jr., a highly touted right-handed
pitcher from Queens Village, New York. Miguel shares his journey, starting from
tee-ball at age three to becoming a top MLB draft prospect. He highlights a
turning point in his career at 14 when he hit 92 mph at a tournament, which
opened doors for him in college and professional baseball. Now throwing up to
100 mph, Miguel talks about his training regimen and goals, including refining
his pitch arsenal and improving his command to go deeper into games. Committed
to LSU, Miguel expresses his excitement about the coaching staff and the
welcoming environment at the school, as well as the influence of his father and
trainer in shaping his work ethic. The interview provides a personal glimpse
into the life of an elite pitching prospect as he prepares for the next stage
of his career.
