2027 RHP @patrickauten7 of @WESTHHSBASEBALL had some tough luck in the 4th inning. A few errors behind him led to a final line of 1 IP, 3 R (0 ER), 3 H, 0 BB, 1 K He still flashed good stuff. Was up to 80 MPH. Big, tall 6'6" frame. Lots of projection and high academic @70American @NovaXkinetics

I love the projection that comes with 2027 RHP @patrickauten7 of @WESTHHSBASEBALL Tall, 6'6" and with room to grow. Needs to keep getting more physical, but sat high 7s touching 80mph in his 3.1 Innings of Relief. Threw 3 Scoreless before running into some command issues in the 11th Inning. Final line was 3.1 IP, 2 ER on 0 H, 4 BB while collecting 2 Ks. Very high academic; from a family of educators @70American @NovaXkinetics

BFBPatrick Auten ('27,NC) 🎓 • #Uncommitted Short OT arm workind downhill w/ full finish. Fast arm throwing the FB, room to grow in the frame. FB: 83 mph / 2200 rpm CB: 67 mph / 1700 rpm / -13" IVB #PSCoverage | @nextlevelbbnc 👤play.ps-baseball.com/public/…

Very exciting 2027 RHP Pitching Prospect coming out of @WESTHHSBASEBALL in @patrickauten7 6'6" 195 frame. Raw, needs to move quicker, but a lot to like about the composure and potential w/ Auten. He was able to get some Varsity exposure last year, including a Playoff Appearance vs Lake Norman. Will be relied up on more this season. FB was 79-80, touching 81 MPH w/ spins up to 2336. Has some arm speed; lots of room to improve separation. Tall release point. CB doesn't have elite spin, but I really like the shape and usage; its a good pitch. I think this kid will throw 90 if he goes all in on physicality and range of motion. VERY high academic prospect,4.13 GPA w/ an interest in Business/Finance. Played for @VeloBaseballWNC this past Summer
