Josh Mawhinney brings power-arm upside after a breakout 2024
Mawhinney is an **underrated, high-upside right-hander** for Utah Valley whose calling card is pure stuff and strikeout ability: he posted a **9-1 record, 1.25 ERA, and 82 strikeouts** in his breakout 2024 high school season, then followed with a **10-strikeout, five-scoreless-inning** gem in summer ball. Listed at **6-foot-4, 215 pounds**, he already shows pro-style velocity and a multi-pitch arsenal, with Baseball Savant reporting a fastball averaging **97.9 mph** and touching **101.3 mph** in 2026. Coaches also describe him as a leader on and off the field, which makes him more than just a power arm.[1][2][3][4][9]
