Trent Sparks is a 2028 RHP/OF with a 6-2 165 lb. frame from New Bern, NC who attends New Bern. Tall lean frame, gets down the mound with drive to the lower half. Clean stroke medium take back. Solid arm speed thru a three-quarters release, good carry with subtle running action to the firm heater. Slider can get cement mixer action but shows true two plane when executed, offering is advanced and will compile whiffs as he continues to improve. Flashed a soft fading changeup R/R, got a foul off. Shows comfort in it, maintains body speed but drags a bit to pronation. Some deadzone fastballs to the gloveside later in the outing. Can go up the ladder for whiffs. Misses are yanks to the glove side but was mostly competitive in and around the zone with a healthy diet of fastballs. In the outfield, closes well, fielding out front and working quickly into a short arm stroke. Accurate with glimpses of carry. Right-handed hitter, wide base, high back elbow and big stride. Direct stroke with feel to leverage the barrel and create hard impact with intent to all fields. Enagages a strong lower half to generate a portion of the power. Got the barrel to it a good amount with some violence to the approach. 6.84 60-yard.
