Connor Fugate offers Georgia Southern a high-upside righty with pitchability and velocity mix
Fugate is a right-handed arm to watch because his profile suggests starter traits rather than pure reliever heat: Perfect Game lists him as a Class of 2023 prospect, and his pitching repertoire includes a mid-90s-capable fastball mix with a slider, curveball, sinker, and splitter, giving him multiple ways to attack hitters.[1][5] The biggest differentiator is his ability to change shapes and speeds, which can make him tougher to square up even when the raw stuff is more about movement and sequence than overpowering velocity.[5]
