Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50 

Hall made a huge impression at the Area Code Games in August, when he struck out 10 of the 18 batters he faced, including nine with a fastball that had an event-best peak velocity of 97 mph. He's a consensus second-round talent heading into his senior season, though there are some scouts who believe he's on an upward trajectory that could make him the first prep pitcher drafted. He may have to go early to be lured away from a Vanderbilt commitment. 

Hall relies heavily on a fastball that sits at 91-94 mph and reaches 98 with explosive life up in the strike zone. With his athleticism and projectable 6-foot-3 frame, he could regularly deal in the mid-90s once he gets stronger. He throws two distinct breaking balls, with his low-80s slider showing more promise and getting more chases than his mid-70s curveball, which lacks consistency but elicits swings and misses. 

Though Hall barely uses his mid-80s changeup, it could become an average pitch once he employs it more and gains more velocity separation from his fastball. He moves well on the mound and works with a high arm slot that creates induced vertical break on his heater and depth on his breaking pitches. He already pounds the zone with his fastball but needs to improve his control of his secondary offerings.

He became a consensus second-round talent heading into his senior season, though there were some scouts who believe he was on an upward trajectory that could have made him the first prep pitcher drafted. He ended up going to Detroit in the second round and signed for just below slot at $1.75 million.
