Huge has a fitting name for his 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame and was a standout performer in his second season with Winthrop after starting his career at the junior college level. He was among the national leaders in strikeouts for most of the season, and racked up 91 strikeouts in his first 10 starts and 54.2 innings with a solid 8.9% walk rate to go with it. Huge doesn’t have massive pure stuff, but he has dominated Big South hitters with an 89-92 mph fastball, an average breaking ball around 80 mph and a mid-80s changeup he deploys nearly a third of the time to righthanded hitters. He fits as an early day three prospect in terms of pure talent and age, though he could work into day two given his handedness and performance.
