Fernsler is a lefthander who is young for the class and uses deception and advanced strike-throwing to overwhelm prep hitters. Listed at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, he attacks hitters from a low three-quarters slot and has a crossfire landing which makes everything he throws difficult to pick up. His velocity is below-average—he tops out in the low 90s and sometimes sits predominantly in the upper 80s—but his fastball consistently plays up thanks to his unique release and a flat approach angle. Fernsler has a pair of quality secondaries between a low-80s changeup and a low-80s slider. Some scouts prefer the slider to the changeup, and vice versa, but both pitches have the potential to become above-average secondaries. He has also mixed in a slower curveball in the mid 70s, but his fastball, slider and changeup are his main ingredients. Fernsler has earned a reputation for having some of the best command in the 2025 prep class, and there are scouts who think he’ll get to plus control in the future. Fernsler is committed to TCU and will still be 17 years old on draft day. He’s been scouted heavily this spring and could become the highest drafted high school pitcher from Michigan of the 2000s, with talent that fits in the first three rounds.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Slider: 55. Curveball: 45. Changeup: 55. Control: 55.
