Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40

Jordan had a pretty busy summer showcase circuit, showing off his stuff at events like Perfect Game National, Major League Baseball’s PDP League and the Area Code Games, while also being named to USA Baseball’s 18U National Team Training Camp roster, though he did not make the team that competed internationally last year. After helping Viera High School (Fla.) finish as a state runner-up as a junior, he pitched the squad to another district title as a senior, then showed off some good stuff at the MLB Draft Combine this June.

At 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Jordan certainly looks the part of a projectable prep right-handed pitcher, with some exciting stuff to go along with it. Pitching from a stretch delivery, he has the chance to have a solid three-pitch mix, though he hasn’t always executed all three consistently. He can run his sinking fastball up to 95 mph, typically sitting around 92-93, and he averaged around 94 mph with the heater at the Combine. He doesn’t always stay on top of his breaking ball, so it can be a bit soft at times, but when he gets to it, he’s shown he can spin a low-80s breaker with some bite. He doesn’t throw his changeup much, but he’ll show one occasionally with some fade, especially against left-handed hitters.

Scouts don’t always love Jordan’s arm action, as it can get long with a full arm swing in the back, and they felt his delivery slowed down too much at times this spring. He does tend to be around the strike zone, and there could easily be more in the tank stuff-wise as he matures, something teams will likely be thinking about if they select the Florida State recruit on Day 2 of the Draft.
