WWBA Freshmen WC Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3

Day four of the WWBA Freshman World Championship was playoff day and things got underway in the morning at the new Atlanta Braves facility in North Port Florida. Unfortunately, a heavy storm cell rolled through halfway into the morning slot, and games had to be moved to Jet Blue ballpark in Fort Myers. Before the weather delay, right-hander Alexander Umland (2024, Los Angeles, Calif.) put together three solid innings for the PFA Matadors, fanning four and allowing just one hit. Umland has had a nice summer on the mound at PG events, and he continues to improve with every appearance he makes. Umland has a pretty conventional motion as he side steps then swings up to a lower leg lift. He has a shorter arm action with a stroke that circles back along his bodyline. He’ll also slightly hunch over his front side as he starts to shove down the bump which gives some deception to his high three-quarters slot to right-handed bats. Umland’s fastball sits 79-82 mph and he works it to both sides of the plate well. His high 11-to-5 shaped curveball comes in around 71 mph and possesses some good depth to the plate. Moreover, he really hasn’t grown into or developed his lengthy 6-foot-3 frame yet which makes his projectability limitless at the moment.
