Four arms. Four impressive profiles. Some of our best from Pro Day weekend in the desert 🔥 Taking the top spot, Dominic Pipkin brough the loudest heater of the weekend, sitting 96-98 and topping at 98.2 on his last fastball of the day. He paired it with a four-pitch mix (SL , CH, CB) while showing an impressive blend of power and command. The former 4th overall pick Riley Pint reminded everyone what first-round arm talent looks like. He ran the fastball up to 97.4, mixed in a 95-96 sinker, and showed quality feel for both the sweep and slider. AJ Block worked 92-93 with the heater (93.7 max) and leaned on a true plus sweeper that brough some of the nastiest swing and miss of the entire event. He rounded it out with a solid change, giving hitters a tough look from the left side. Taylor Lehman offered a different look from a lefty, featuring a unique cutter-based arsenal with it climbing to 92.8. He complemented it with a slider/sweeper combination that kept hitters uncomfortable throughout the outing.

New @DrivelineBB record🚨 Steve MF Jones going where no man has gone before! Throwing a ball 105mph will never not be cool, but more importantly @_stephenjones__ is set to have another big offseason📈 #Fatherof1 #girldad

If it wasn’t for Will Klein’s gutsy performance in Game 3, there may never have been a Game 7. The unlikely hero out of the @Dodgers bullpen will send his glove to the Hall of Fame.

Will Klein's journey to World Series hero: - Drafted in the 5th (and last) round of the shortened 2020 draft out of Eastern Illinois - Career 5.33 MiLB ERA across five years - Traded to the A's in the Lucas Erceg deal in 2024 and finished the season with a 6.35 ERA across 8 MLB outings between the Royals and A's - Traded to the Mariners for cash in the offseason but DFA'd and sent to Dodgers in June - 14 outings for LA in 2025 and not on the roster for the first three rounds of the postseason - Last man in the Dodgers bullpen in Game 3 and tosses 4 shutout innings to earn the win 👑 Forever entrenched in MLB history now.
