July 2025: Ethan Ford is a promising player with a highly projectable frame. As a position player, Ethan brings solid athleticism to the infield but need work with his glove. Offensively, demonstrated steady hands and a smooth, direct swing path. While his swing can occasionally get long, he shows the ability to drive the ball gap-to-gap with consistent line-drive contact. His natural athleticism and feel for the game suggest continued growth as a hitter and defender with added strength and refinement. Ethan’s future appears especially bright on the mound, where his upside as a pitcher stands out. He has a clean, efficient arm action and already generates life and carry on his fastball. His slider has sharp, late bite, making it an effective out pitch, and he mixes in a serviceable changeup that continues to develop. His frame suggests he will add velocity as he matures physically, and his pitchability is already advanced for a player in the 2026 class. Overall, Ethan Ford is a high-upside two-way player who currently profiles best as a pitcher at the next level. With continued development and strength gains, he has the tools to become a legitimate collegiate arm with the versatility to contribute in the field if needed.August 2025: \"Smooth actions in the infield with a strong arm, good carry on throws. Wide athletic stance in the box. Utilizes a no-stride approach, showing the ability to drive the ball. Impressive on the mound, mixing FB/SL/CH keeping hitters off balance. Good velocity with fastball.\"
