"Borthwick was unhittable in Hoover, Alabama, last weekend at the Perfect Game High School Showdown, allowing no hits over four innings of work while striking out eight of the 13 hitters he faced, walking none. Borthwick's fastball touched 96 and sat 92-95, with his slider showing sharp breaking action in the low 80s."
"At 6-6, 255, the Auburn commit has the size and easy velo to be a workhorse starter in the pros eventually. He's a two-way guy in high school (and pretty good at it; hitting .552 (16-for-29) with six doubles, five homers, with eight walks and just one strikeout this season), but he'll be a pitcher when the dust settles."
"I would expect Borthwick to be in the first round conversation with fellow prep arms Gio Rojas and Carson Bolemon, all three of whom could end up being top-15 selections in July."
Coleman Borthwick, a 6-6, 255-pound Auburn commit, showcased elite pitching abilities at the Perfect Game High School Showdown in Hoover, Alabama, throwing four hitless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. His fastball touched 96 mph and sat 92-95, while his slider displayed sharp action in the low 80s. As a two-way player, Borthwick maintains impressive offensive numbers with a .552 batting average, six doubles, and five home runs this season. Scouts project him as a future workhorse starter with a plus fastball and developing slider. Currently ranked in the top 50 prospects, Borthwick is expected to enter first-round conversations alongside fellow prep arms, potentially becoming a top-15 selection in the upcoming July draft.
