7/14/25 : 2025 MLB Draft - 4th Round Pick (overall pick # 131)

RHP  Sean Youngerman - 21 yrs old - Oklahoma State University

“Youngerman began his college career at Westmont (Calif.), where he won a NAIA championship as a freshman in 2023. After starring in the Cape Cod League last summer, he has thrived at Oklahoma State despite being bounced back and forth between the rotation and bullpen. He would have ranked in the NCAA Division I top five in ERA (2.08), K/BB ratio (7.4) and WHIP (0.87) if he hadn't fallen three innings shy of qualifying. Youngerman sits at 92-94 mph and touches 96 with his riding fastball as a starter, and he finds a couple more ticks of velocity as a reliever. He relies heavily on his heater because he has trouble landing his tight mid-80s slider for strikes. He has a decent changeup with similar velocity that fades and helps him keep left-handers in check. While Youngerman's pitches have just ordinary shapes, they work because he commands them well. He has a strong 6-foot-3 frame and scouts have no concerns about his ability to start at the next level. His ability to enhance his secondary pitches will determine his long-term success.”

“Youngerman is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound righthander who pitched well for two seasons with NAIA Westmont (Calif.) before transferring to Oklahoma State in 2025. Youngerman pitched mostly out of the bullpen with Oklahoma State but has the control to start after walking just 3.9% of batters and limiting them to a .191 average this spring. He pitches heavily off his 93-95 mph fastball and has run the pitch up to 98 at peak. He consistently throws it for strikes at a high clip. Youngerman’s fastball also has plenty of induced vertical break. He also has a short, mid-80s slider/cutter and a mid-80s changeup. Youngerman relied a ton on his fastball and for good reason, considering hitters missed it a quarter of the time, but he’ll need to coax more out of the rest of his arsenal in pro ball. With a foundation of a strong fastball and enough strikes, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Youngerman get a chance to start upon turning pro.” - Baseball America
