Tomas Valincius (‘24, Baylor) The Virginia commit and Prep Baseball All-American game participant was on full display with a full background of radar guns at Webb on Wednesday. The lefty would go 5 innings only surrendering a handful of hits, one run, and 10 strikeouts, while only walking 2. His fastball was overpowering throughout his entire outing, running up to 94 at times and sitting in the low 90s from a low ¾ slot. He would turn to a low 80s breaking ball for swings and misses and strikeouts. Valincius would also contribute to his own cause with a grand slam to crack the game open for the red raiders. He ambushed a fastball and it got out in a hurry barely having the height to clear the fence. Look for the Cavalier to continue to dominate offenses on the mound while being a force in the middle of the lineup as the season goes on.
9/23/23
Prep Baseball All-American Game: A physical 6-foot-2, 213-pounds working out of a low, three-quarters slot. Low effort, repeatable delivery with a fast arm and incorporates the lower half well. Heavy fastball at 88-91 with consistent sink and arm-side run. Feel to land throughout the strike zone, and creates weak contact. Gyro slider at 79-81 shows feel to spin (Avg 2381) and command to land consistently on the inner half against LHH. Low-80s changeup will tunnel off the fastball well, while killing spin and creating whiffs. Good pitchability throughout the three pitch mix.
8/03/23
Virginia might have not one, but two high pitchability left-handers coming to campus next year in the aforementioned William Kirk and Tomas Valincius (Baylor School, TN). Valincius was dominant, pitching three scoreless frames as just one runner reached base. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder struck out three, a result of high level pitchability, spotting three pitches for strikes. His tailing fastball sat 90-91 mph and he reversed that horizontal movement with a quality 80-82 slider, and then subtracted with a low-80s changeup. The lefty doesn’t have a ton of physical projection, but what he already has looks pretty good and will play immediately at any college level.

LHP/1B Tomas Valincius (Baylor, 2024), is yet another high-level two-way prospect to note. Valincius is originally from Illinois and now attends Baylor Academy (TN). The Virginia commit has a 6-foot-2, 210-pound, strong, physical frame and is one of the top prospects in the Tennessee 2024 class. On the mound, Valincius has a smooth delivery, clean, quick arm and works with ease and polish. His fastball played comfortably at 90-91 mph topping out at 91.2 mph (tied for the event high) with arm-side life out of the hand. He spun two different breaking balls which played anywhere from 78-81 mph with similar shapes and tight spins. He spun his curveball at T2706 rpm (2660 avg) with 13” of horizontal movement on average, and his slider at T2684 rpm (2588 avg). His change-up played at the bottom of the zone with armside run and some downer action at 81-82 mph (18.8” HM avg). Valincius also showed easy power from the left-side of the plate during BP. He produced a max exit velocity of 97.3 mph and an average exit velocity of 93.1 mph. He also was towards the top in a number of Blast categories as well.

Demonstrated an advanced feel for the strike zone all weekend, and it played a big role in the title game. He barreled a single in his first at-bat, and walked in his three other plate appearances, to help keep the Top Tier line moving. Valincius also recorded the game’s final five outs and struck out three in his 1.2 innings of clutch relief work. He hits from the left side on an uphill swing path, long through the zone. He created hard, lofted contact with consistency over the entirety of the weekend, and carries with him some pop potential to his pull side. On the mound, he works with some rhythm, short arm circle, high front side, high ¾ slot, lands wide open. Fastball sat 68-70 mph, with some arm-side run, coupled with a downer 1/7 curveball that has above-average depth.
