Noah LaFine brings a live arm and upside to VMI’s bullpen
LaFine is a former top Ohio prep arm who has already shown Division I punch, striking out three in 7.0 innings over five appearances for Ohio State in 2025 before transferring to VMI. His calling card is a compact 5-foot-11 frame with a polished, repeatable right-handed delivery and fastball life that has been reported in the low-90s, which gives him real bat-missing potential. He looks like a fit for a team that values strike-throwing upside, athleticism, and room for continued development rather than finished polish.
