Scouting the 2025 Draft: Jamie Arnold

Jamie Arnold LHP, College(Florida State).  DOB:  3/21/2024.  6' 1", 188 lbs.

2023(College):  2-5, 6.34, 44 IP, 10.0 K/9, 5.5 BB/9.
2023(Cape Cod League):  1-1, 2.95, 18.1 IP, 10.3 K/9, 3.4 BB/9.
2024(College):  11-3, 2.98, 105.2 IP, 13.5 K/9, 2.2 BB/9.

Arnold is coming off a terrific sophomore season in which is racked up the 3'rd highest strikeout total in the NCAA.  He sports a 3-pitch SP mix including a mid-90's FB, sweeping slider and a decent changeup.  Although on the small side in stature, he plays up with a super-long stride reminiscent of Tim Lincecum and a sweeping arm action not dissimilar to Madison Bumgarner.  He as a low-3/4 release point with just a bit shorter arm action than Bum.  If he stays healthy and pitches up to his sophomore campaign, he'll be a high first round pick.
