Dax Whitney, RHP, Oregon State
Whitney was one of the most popular helium arms in the 2024 draft cycle and had pitched his way into being a potential day-one option. He’s enjoyed a productive fall and is in a great spot to log meaningful innings this spring.At 6-foot-5 and 195-pounds, Whitney has a great body with projection remaining. His fastball this fall has been up to 98 with life through the zone, a pitch he supplements with a curveball, slider and changeup. Whitney’s curveball is the best of his three secondary offerings, and it flashes serious depth with sharp, downward teeth. His slider is shorter in shape and his changeup is a fine fourth pitch. Whitney has the look of a future rotation headliner, and it might be sooner rather than later.
