Little had the chance to join the pro ranks when he was coming out of high school in Pennsylvania, but instead opted to head to North Carolina. He threw just four innings as a freshman in 2016, so he transferred to the State College of Florida to be Draft eligible this June.
Little pitched very well in the Cape Cod League this summer and has continued to show premium velocity in junior college this spring. He was touching 97 mph in fall ball and has kept that up during the regular season in Florida. He complements it with a true 12-to-6 power curve which flashes plus on occasion, and he'll also show some feel for his changeup, though it's behind the other two pitches. While he has a very quick and clean arm delivery, his command comes and goes and his fastball can be flat at times, though that hasn't kept him from missing a ton of bats this spring.
The lack of track record, as well as the inconsistency with his delivery and command, might concern some, with scouts wondering if he's a starter or a reliever long term. This kind of arm strength from the left side is hard to find, so teams won't too long to take him off the board.
