A dominant arm coming off a standout fall season, Layla Werner Layla Werner RHP Huffman Hargrave | 2030 TX has a deep arsenal of pitches, but her changeup is the best of the bunch, with many hitters simply unable to stop themselves from swinging way out in front of it. She also throws a rise ball that batters can’t help but swing under as well as a fastball and curveball with high spin rates. Her command allows her to paint the corners and keep the ball hard to barrel up but still in the strike zone. Werner had seven strikeouts in five innings at the Impact Gold Fall Exposure tournament in early November, and her stuff was effective against both righties and lefties. When she’s not getting called strikes or whiffs, Werner is inducing weak contact, getting routine grounders and pop flies that are easy for her fielders to handle.
