Diego Velazquez brings two-way juice — power arm, up-the-middle tools, and real upside
In the 2026 season, USC freshman Diego Velazquez flashed as a true two-way prospect: he posted a 5-1 record with a 4.26 ERA, 34 strikeouts and only 9 walks in 31.2 innings, while also giving the Trojans steady infield snaps and a left-handed bat. Scouts and recruiting evaluators liked the athletic profile — a 6-foot-1, 203-pound, up-the-middle player with a high-90s fastball and hard slider — and that versatility is the big selling point. If your team wants a competitive, high-upside athlete who can impact the mound first and still wear multiple hats, he’s a pretty fun fit.
