BA#96 Nazier Mule Passaic County Tech HS, Wayne, N.J. RHP/SS VIDEO Notes: HT: 6-2 | Wt: 211 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Miami Age At Draft: 17.7 BA Grade: 50/Extreme Tools: Fastball: 65. Slider: 50. Changeup: 50. Control: 45. Mule has been famous from an early age, standing out for his athleticism at shortstop, raw power and outstanding arm strength. As he enters his draft year, Mule has the talent to play both ways in college at Miami, but his professional future looks brighter on the mound. He has reached 100 mph, even more remarkable given that he will be 17 until October. This spring, Mule pitched more in the 92-96 mph range, then after an April start in which he threw more than 100 pitches, he felt soreness in his arm and hasn't pitched since, though he has still been hitting and playing first base at times. When Mule was pitching, multiple scouts noted he was often pitching backwards, throwing more breaking balls than fastballs. Over the summer, Mule's slider was often fringy to below-average, but some scouts who saw him this spring said he snapped off some better sliders and was showing more feel for his changeup. Some of them also thought that, while he wasn't throwing as hard as they had seen in the past, he was showing more pitchability than he had before when he was more of a thrower than a pitcher, though others noted times where he lost his control. Mule's youth, athleticism and raw arm strength will appeal to some teams, while others view him as a high-risk prep arm. ==== FG #92 One of the most electric athletes in the entire draft, Mule is a two-way prospect with hit tool question marks partially generated by his swing's bizarre look. It's toned down a bit since his showcase summer, but his swing was extremely stiff and his head would kick back like a shotgun on contact. He is a capable defensive shortstop with a 70 arm, and his strapping frame is poised to grow into huge power, but Mule's hit tool is scary enough that I have him projected as a pitcher only. Elite arm speed generates upper-90s velo (he was more in the mid-90s late in his draft spring), but very little feel for location and an extremely inconsistent slider. A young-for-the-class developmental project with elite arm strength and body projection, pro dev has their work cut out for them if Mule is going to start. If he develops one plus secondary pitch, then he could easily be a late-inning reliever. ==== PL #214 Nazier Mule RHP Passaic County Tech Paterson, NJ Elite level two-way athlete. Up to 101 off the mound from a short, low 3/4 arm slot. Immense arm speed. Flashes a gyro-slider and some feel for a changeup. Top of the class bat speed with significant raw power, though it's more of a batting practice approach than it is production in-game to this point. Hands work really well on the infield with plus arm strength, maybe more. Hyper-athletic abilities suggest he can stick at the position. Mule projects better on the mound for us, currently. Some similarities to Masyn Winn, a two-way draftee in 2020. ==== -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ 地獄でいきなり聖書なんえ 読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！殺すえおっ！！ --
