Frame 

Pike is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound switch-hitting infielder who doubles on the mound with plenty of arm talent. He’s got present strength in the build with a strong frame, showing good athleticism throughout — with a well-proportioned frame. He projects to add further strength at the next level as he continues to refine the build. He shows good twitch as well. There’s a lot of talent across the board, leaving definite two-way upside in my eyes. 

Hitting 

Pike is a switch-hitter. He sets up from both sides with a similar stance. It’s a slightly spread & even base with higher-set hands. He has a pretty simple stroke with a direct & quick path to contact. He uses a simple & smaller leg lift in the front side to get that front foot down and drive hard through it. From both sides, he has lightning-quick hands and elite bat speed. As a right-hander, he has a quick path to it, with a good feel to launch. He can get uphill at times but does a good job staying on a good path to match planes and stay through it. It’s a balanced stroke with good turns. He works pull-side well and has shown some loud impacts. As a left-hander, it's more of the same with quick hands, short path, and lightning speed through it and gets a ton of jump off of the barrel. He can be a bit more steep from the left side at times, though there’s been intent on keeping things in sync and tightening things up from the left side. There’s a process in the box for sure, and he gets some loud impact in-game. He has an eye for the zone, does not expand too much, and takes his walks. The juice has shown on the circuit and pop comes out in-game. For me, the left-handed stroke offers more upside at present.  

Pitching 

Pike has a lot to like at the plate, but he’s able to get on the mound and work into the mid-90s on the heater, and he offers upside here as well.  On the mound, it's a quick and athletic delivery working down the slope. He lifts the leg to the belt and rides the slope downhill with push off the back foot. He gets good extension with the lead leg and creates hip-shoulder separation, with a full takeaway in the back. He works from a higher-three-quarters arm slot with tons of arm speed through release. He comes through it with plenty of force and will pull off toward first base at times. The fastball has some burst, having been up to 96 mph, usually working the low- to mid-90s. It’s a high-spin heater that peaked around 2,750 RPM at PG National. He shows a harder bullet slider in the mid-80s with spin above 2,100 RPM. It’s firm with a tight shape and some sweep on the pitch. The better off speed is the breaking ball that works the upper-70s around 80 mph with spin above 2,400 RPM and really good bite to it. It’s got tight spin and good depth to it as well. He’ll also work in a changeup around 80 mph with good fading depth as well, giving him four pitches to attack. It’s big arm talent that has shown up on the circuit, giving him things to like on the mound at the next level. 

“The Buzz” 

As mentioned, there’s a real two-way upside here, and he’s shown it on the circuit. He was a PG All-American who showed out at PG National. In 2025, Pike opened things up at MLK West hitting .500 with a trio of extra-base hits and five walks throughout the weekend. He got on the mound and worked up to 95 mph in an outing out of the bullpen as well. He’s someone who’s going to make noise up in the Pacific Northwest, especially with the brass up there to see Xavier Neyens as well. Pike’s going to get looks this year on the circuit, and a loud spring could vault him up draft boards. 

Summation 

While there’s a two-way upside, I’d expect Pike to end up being a hitter in the long term. He’s going to get interest from teams in this year’s draft. He’s committed to Oregon State and could end up being a really good get for a pro organization in this summer’s draft. I’d expect him to get looks on both sides at the next level, but I’d expect him to show more development and upside on the offensive side of things at the next level. Either way, it’s a high-level talent & one that evaluators & decision-makers will do their homework on this spring ahead of the 2025 MLB Draft.
