Evan Novotny is a 2027 RHP/1B/IF with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Jackson, GA who attends Jackson. Slender athletic build with some present strength and room for plenty more. Has a fast paced and well controlled delivery, arm action is quick and compact with a 3/4's arm slot, was best out of the stretch. Fastball sat in the upper 70's with more velocity there as he get stronger, got lots of arm side life to the fastball and held his velocity well. Curveball was a good pitch with good spin and some slurve shaped depth. Also threw a developing change up. 7.13 runner in the sixty. Played first base when not on the mound, still learning his footwork and turns, fielded the ball cleanly and has plenty of arm strength for the position. Right handed hitter, starts in a narrow stance with a small stride into contact, throws his hands hard and has some hand speed, gets the barrel through the zone well and showed some pull side jump, has some potential as a hitter. Excellent student.
