Since 1995, the scout-run showcase has been one of the marquee events on the amateur scouting calendar and annually features some of the most talented players in the class from the Eastern half of the country.
Scouts assemble six regional-based teams who then compete in games and participate in workouts for four days at the Hoover Met Complex in Hoover, Ala.
Below are 30 pitchers who stood out from the 2025 edition of the ECP, headlined by the top five standouts. The remaining players are then listed in alphabetical order. You can find our latest 2026 draft board rankings here.
1. Coleman Borthwick, RHP, South Walton HS, Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.
- Commit: Auburn
- BA Rank: 31
Borthwick was a standout at the 2024 ECP as an underclassman a year ago. He once again dominated the event this year and overwhelmed hitters with an overpowering three-pitch combo. Listed at 6-foot-6, 268 pounds, Borthwick is a massively-physical righthander. He works from the first base side of the rubber and features a crossfire delivery and a three-quarter slot and hooking arm action. He struck out seven of the 11 batters he faced, walked one and gave up one double to Aiden Ruiz.
He averaged 95 mph in this three-inning look and touched 98 with six fastball whiffs and solid control of the pitch. While his velocity did drop off a bit in the third inning and out of the stretch, it was a clear plus offering that paired nicely with his plus slider. Borthwick’s mid-80s slider featured power and consistent bite with spin rates in the 2,700-2,800 rpm range and was a swing-and-miss offering vs. both lefties and righties.
While the fastball/slider combination was the focus, Borthwick did mix in three changeups in the 85-87 mph range against lefthanded hitters. He yanked one down and to his glove side, but the two others looked like respectable third pieces to round out his arsenal—with one leading to a weak ground out.
2. Connor Salerno, LHP, Sun Valley HS, Monroe, N.C.
Each year, the East Coast Pro offers a glimpse of some of the best arms in the draft class a year out. Last year, it was both Coleman Borthwick and Kaden Waechter who popped as underclassmen. This year it was Salerno, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound lefthander who struck out five of the six batters he faced in one of the most dominant looks of the week.
