From Sleeper to 97 MPH: The Rise of HS Lefty Connor Salerno

Spend a day with lefty Connor Salerno, one of the top arms in the 2027 class and one of the most dominant LHPs in the country.

From topping out at 85 mph just two years ago to hitting 97 this summer, Connor’s rise has been nothing short of electric. Hailing from Indian Trail, NC, he’s quickly becoming a name every hitter dreads seeing on the mound.

In this episode of POv, we follow Connor through a full day of training with the boys at Carolina Sports Performance, a recovery session with the Stretch Lady, and a bullpen at the Pitch Lab. This is an inside look at the work, mindset, and routine behind one of the most exciting young pitchers in the game.

This is POv: Connor Salerno.
