Originally a product of Mount Airy High in North Carolina, Ferris transferred
to IMG Academy, where he wowed scouts during his junior season by posting a
0.55 ERA over 50.2 innings and striking out 86 batters compared to just 13
walks. He made significant velocity increases throughout his high school
career, and over the 2021 showcase circuit was regularly around 93 mph and
touching 96-97 mph at peak from the left side. On top of that fastball,
Ferris has flashed multiple above-average secondaries: a mid-70s curveball
with impressive depth and spin (2,400-2,600 rpm) and a mid-80s changeup that’
s thrown with fastball arm speed. That loud stuff did come with some
inconsistencies that scouts hadn’t previously seen from him as an
underclassman, and throughout the 2022 spring he was largely the same pitcher
—good pure stuff, but scattered and inconsistent command from outing to
outing. Many scouts believe Ferris’ complicated, contorting delivery is
simultaneously a boon for his deception and a burden for overall consistency.
There’s tilt and drift during Ferris’ leg lift, with plenty of length and
hooking action in the back of his arm slot, and then finally a crossfiring
lower half in his landing. He’s not always on time with his release at foot
strike and many in the industry believe he’ll need to clean up some of those
moving parts to make the most out of his obvious arm talent. Ferris is
committed to Mississippi but has plenty of interest among the top two rounds.

PL#27
Ferris has a long, yet relatively clean arm action and has plenty of
projection on his frame to add strength and velocity. Primarily 93-95, Ferris
has been up to 97 with a fastball that showcases huge riding life. His
curveball has solid depth with big, tight spin in the mid-70's and there is a
change-up in the low-80's that needs refinement. The fastball is the calling
card here and it absolutely blows hitters away. Being a left-handed pitcher
that can reach back for high-90s cheese, and given his 6-foot-5-inch frame,
scouts are drooling over what the final package could look like here a few
years down the road. Ferris was very good, not great in 2022, thus the slip
to the back-half of the first round, but it's hard to argue with the upside
here.

ESPN#41
Jackson Ferris (18.4), LHP, IMG Academy HS (FL), Ole Miss commit
Velo: 92-94 t96, Fastball: 50/55, Curveball: 50/55, Changeup: 45/50, Command:
40/55
Ferris was right there with Dylan Lesko and Brandon Barriera pacing a
historic group of prep arms entering the summer, but some other arms showed
plus stuff more often over the past year. Ferris still shows above-average
ability at almost every aspect of pitching and could be a delivery tweak away
from being a top-10-to-15 player in this draft class.

FG#43
Ferris' combination of velocity (up to 96 mph), fastball carry, breaking ball
snap, and frame give him tremendous upside. His feel for location is so raw
that he has a little more relief risk than some of the high school pitchers
ranked below him in the 2022 draft class, though sometimes guys with lanky
frames like this gain control of their bodies later. Ferris has a powerful
lower half, bending deep into his blocking leg. He also strides open,
clearing his front side to help enable an extremely vertical arm slot. The
combination of the two helps Ferris' fastball have flatter angle than is
usual for a pitcher this tall, with such a high arm slot. If he can live more
consistently at the top of the strike zone as he matures, Ferris' mid-90s
fastball could dominate up there. The vertical slot helps him create depth on
his breaking ball, and Ferris can turn over a changeup from that slot, albeit
with a little variation. There are three potential impact pitches here, a ton
of physical projection, and a delivery that some scouts see as the key to the
whole operation, but that others think points toward the bullpen. He is a
high school pitching prospect of extreme variance.
