Ian Standlee brings proven strike-throwing polish and all-around athleticism to Army's rotation
Standlee, a right-handed pitcher from Klein Cain, entered Army as a decorated high school arm: First Team All-District and a two-time Pitcher of the Year, with Perfect Game noting an 84 mph fastball and significant velocity gains over time. He stands out more for trajectory, competitiveness, and multi-sport athleticism than pure power, which makes him a fit for a staff that values development, command, and toughness. The main question is upside versus ceiling, but his consistent progression suggests a durable, coachable pitcher with room to grow.
