Henry Thornton is a 2021 LHP/ with a 6-4 165 lb. frame from Union, MS who attends Union. Large frame with broad shoulders and room to fill. Ran a 7.69 second 60 yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, starts delivery with a side step up to a really high leg lift, leans back at the waist as he comes to his balance point, takes his arm back to a full arm action up to a high ¾ arm slot, some arm speed and tempo to delivery, uses his lower half staying mostly online to the plate. Fastball topped out at 80 mph, mixed in a curveball with 12-to-6 shape and developing spin, will improve breaking ball speed with maintained fastball arm speed. Secondary outfielder, deliberate actions moving to the baseball, crow hops into release with limited momentum into throws, will improve arm strength with refinement to lower half. Lefthanded hitter, toe tap trigger, young bat speed at the plate on a downhill path to the baseball, middle to pull side approach.
