For no other reason that it’s a pitcher from state of Georgia and someone who dropped during the season, I’m going to throw a Chris Beck comparison 

Usually people on this board aren't a fan of high floor lower stuff pitchers.

I like the control pitchers.

Jordan Sprinkle
UC Santa Barbara SS
Notes:
HT: 5-10 | Wt: 170 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.3
BA Grade: 40/High
Tools: Hit: 30. Power: 45. Run: 60. Field: 60. Arm: 55.

Sprinkle came into the year with a chance to be one of the first shortstops taken in the 2022 draft. But the third-year sophomore struggled to hit with the same approach, power and confidence he had shown in 2021. He began the year as the Gauchos’ leadoff hitter, slid to the No. 2 spot before long, but then was buried, batting ninth by the end of the season. Sprinkle seemed to be guessing, and guessing wrong, a lot during his midseason struggles and his swing lost its fluidity. Scouts have seen above-average raw power from him, but he didn’t hit the ball with any authority this year. He hit .285/.381/.416, which was a big dip from the .353/.402/.536 he hit in 2021. Sprinkle is a true shortstop with the hands, actions and range to be a plus defender and an above-average arm. That ability to play shortstop will likely induce a team to give him a shot to refind his swing in pro ball.
