Satchel Wheeler is a 2024 LHP/1B, OF with a 6-1 180 lb. frame from Madison, AL who attends James Clemens. He ran a 7.72 second sixty. A primary left-handed pitcher with larger build with room to project on moving forward. On the mound he starts with a side step with a belt high leg lift staying tall on the back side and working into a stiff front side as he falls down the mound. The fastball sat 71-75 mph from a high three-quarters arm slot filing up the zone well as he is able to repeat the delivery. The curveball showed 1-7 shape with consistent arm speed to the fastball well the changeup only showed against righties with slight fade. At first base he worked arounthe ball with some confidence transferring the ball quickly after he received it and getting it to the bases with accurate throws showing developing arm strength. Left-handed hitter, starts slightly open loading the hands deep to create separation pre-swing before firing the barrel level through the zone with good intent flashing some power to the pull side when he gets the barrel out front creating back spin on the ball flight. Excellent student.
