The best high school pitcher in the 2021 draft class is Calvary Christian Academy right-hander Andrew Painter. In a class of prep arms generally lacking polish, Painter stands out for his advanced and robust arsenal on the mound.
The 2021 draft class is full of kids that can really throw it and really spin it. That said, very few of those arms possess the track record of command, durability, and success that Painter does.
At 6-foot-7, 230 pounds, the Pompano Beach, Florida native is already an imposing presence on the mound. He’s got long levers, a high waist, and a frame that suggests more good weight is to come.
