Hall is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound righthander who has a solid blend of present stuff, physical projection and athleticism. His fastball has trended in the right direction over the last three years, and after touching 92 mph in 2022 he now sits in the low 90s and has been up to 97-98 at peak velocity. Hall’s fastball was an overpowering pitch at the 2023 Area Code Games, where he used it to generate nine whiffs in three innings. It’s a high-spin offering that has been thrown in the 2,300 to 2,600 rpm range with the sort of carry necessary to dominate the top of the strike zone. Hall has two breaking pitches, including a low-to-mid-80s slider that is probably his best bet moving forward, though he’s also done a nice job eliciting whiffs with a mid-70s curveball that has more 12-to-6 shape. Hall will flash a mid-80s changeup, but his fastball and breaking balls are his main weapons for now. Hall’s pure arm talent is impressive, but he needs to continue refining his control and command. He has long levers and throws with a delivery that features a longer take-back and plenty of effort, along with a head whack in his finish that could inhibit his command. Hall could be a tough sign out of Vanderbilt but has top-three rounds talent.
