Jackson Baumeister

Florida State

Baumeister possesses a premier body with long levers, feel for tempo, as well as balance and fluidity. This is how you build a starting pitcher. He's been up to 97, but more commonly sits 93-94 with two wicked breaking balls, the slider being the better of his two benders. He's also got a changeup. There's a ton of projection on Baumeister and it's an arm with very little mileage on it. Developing a more dynamic fastball shape and learning to pitch backwards will be the next checkpoints in Baumeister's career.

The Seminoles remain well stocked with power arms, headlined by three high-end talents in lefthander Wyatt Crowell and righties Carson Montgomery and Jackson Baumeister, all of whom have Day One draft potential. 

Baumeister, who will be draft-eligible as a sophomore next summer, was another blue-chip recruit out of high school, with another prototype frame (6-4, 226), a long, loose arm action to a high slot, and power stuff. He was far from his best in my fall look, sitting at 90-92 with a loose curveball and inconsistent changeup, but we’ve seen him better than that in the past, and Jarrett is expecting a huge jump from him this spring.

34. Jackson Baumeister, RHP, Florida State – Baumeister is a draft eligible sophomore who was considered a day two prospect in the 2021 draft as a two-way player, he has given up catching and is now a pitching only prospect, but the stuff is real. His fastball sits low-to-mid 90s but he has been higher in relief outings, while he has a slider and curve to go with it as a project pitch in his change. There are some command concerns and the Seminoles have a loaded rotation, so there is some risk he could lose a weekend job if he struggles out the gate, but there is also the upside of him being the best starter for the loaded staff.

Jackson Baumeister

Florida State

Jackson Baumeister really burst onto the scene during his senior year of high school. Once considered a premier catching prospect, his future is now without a doubt on the bump. It's a premier body with long levers, feel for tempo, as well as balance and fluidity. This is how you build a starting pitcher. He's been up to 97, but more commonly sits 93-94 with two wicked breaking balls, the slider being the better of his two benders. He's also got a changeup. There's a ton of projection on Baumeister and it's an arm with very little mileage on it. He'll get his first taste of college ball in 2022 where he figures to get some opportunities to start baked into a loaded Florida State rotation.

11. RHP Jackson Baumeister, Florida State.

Bat: R. Throw: R. 6'4", 225 lbs. Born 7/10/2002. Hometown: Jacksonville, FL.

2022: 1-2, 5.60 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 41/20 K/BB in 27.1 innings.

Jackson Baumeister is yet another big name high school prospect who made it to campus. He had a chance to go in the top three rounds in 2021 and ended up in Tallahassee instead, but unlike Alex Mooney, he wasn't an immediate contributor. Rather, he got buried in an FSU pitching staff that proved to be the deepest in the conference, making seventeen relief appearances and two late-season midweek starts, but he'll have a chance to step into a much larger role in 2023 after the entire weekend rotation left either for pro ball or the transfer portal. Baumeister spent his summer on the Cape and threw nearly as many innings there (21) as he did all season long at FSU (27.1), and showed well with a 4.28 ERA and a 30/10 strikeout to walk ratio. He's an excellent athlete that gets down the mound well with a fluid delivery, getting good extension out front with a low release point that helps his stuff play up. The fastball sits in the low to mid 90's and tops out around 96 with riding action, while a sharp downer curveball has a chance to be his best pitch if he can add a little more power. The Jacksonville native is also working on an improving changeup, though it's still inconsistent to this point and he can slow his arm down at times. Below average command kept him from clawing through that FSU depth chart and earning innings last year, but given his athleticism and repeatable delivery, he has every chance to develop average command in time. If he does, he's a legitimate starting pitching prospect, but he'll need to build up some track record in Tallahassee this year to crack the top two rounds.

It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...
