Kyson Witherspoon - Prospect Profile

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "Kyson’s one-two punch with his fastball and slider is utterly dynamic. The heater holds station in the mid-90s and has reached upwards of 99 MPH with excellent life on the top rail of the strike zone, generating ridiculous cut/ride shape."

Prep Baseball Draft HQ - March 19th: "The Sooners righty is 5-0 this spring with a 1.91 ERA in 28.1 innings, and he’s punched out 47 batters against just six walks and 17 hits allowed. It’s 94-97 mph on a steep, carry fastball with a feel slider that’s been a go-to for him, as well as an interesting cutter, and he pitches with a ton of energy and competitiveness."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 10th: "So far, so good for Witherspoon. He owns a 1.17 ERA and 46% strikeout rate through his first four starts and 23 innings. Early this season, he’s dialed back his fastball and slider usage to show more of an arsenal, and his whiffs have gone up. He could easily go higher than this."

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 4th: "He’s sitting 96-97, up to 99, with two short but sharp breaking balls — they’re almost one pitch beyond about 3-4 mph in separation — working with a very short arm action. His changeup is his worst pitch, straight at 89-91 without a lot of feel, and he may have to work on that or try his seldom-used cutter to keep getting lefties out."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - February 21st: "Witherspoon is a riser who looked more like a reliever last season and into the summer, but has shown starter ability with some plus qualities early this spring."
