Connor Finn, a left‑handed pitcher from Mahtomedi, Minnesota, has emerged as one of the most talked‑about prospects in high school baseball this spring.
At the Senior Future Games in 2025, Finn dazzled scouts by striking out four of six batters, showcasing a fastball that now sits in the mid‑90s, a fading changeup and a sharp slider.
His rapid development over the past year is evident in the numbers: after sitting at 81‑83 mph a year ago, his velocity has climbed to the mid‑90s, while his ERA dropped to a stellar 1.06 over 47 innings, during which he recorded 102 strikeouts.
Finn capped the season by helping Mahtomedi capture the 2025 Class AAA state championship, a triumph that underscored his impact on the mound and his leadership off it.
Scouting acclaim
Prep Baseball Vice President of Scouting Shooter Hunt highlighted Finn’s high‑spin changeup as a standout weapon, noting that the pitch’s movement makes it difficult for hitters to make solid contact.
The three‑pitch mix — fastball, changeup and slider — has become a model for modern left‑handed prospects, and Finn’s performance at the Super 60 in Chicago, where he was recorded as the hardest‑throwing left‑hander, only amplified the buzz.
Although he has committed to Texas Tech, professional scouts continue to monitor his progress closely, viewing him as a potential early‑round draft pick and a cornerstone for the next generation of Upper Midwest talent.
With a blend of raw power, refined command and a competitive spirit, Connor Finn is poised to make a significant impact at the collegiate level and, potentially, in the professional ranks.
