According to Perfectgame.org, Mason is a "crafty" lefty with a fastball topping at 80 miles per hour.  His 60-feet time is 7.53 seconds.

Perfectgame.org's analysis:  "Mason Raburn is a 2012 LHP/OF with a 6-1 185 lb. frame from Omaha, NE who attends Creighton Prep. Medium build with strength. Circle arm action form high 3/4 slot. Throws downhill, hides ball, with fade on fastball. Curveball ranged from 60-67, changeup from 65-73, will develop better feel for both pitches with experience. Switch-hitter. Tall, upright stance, uppercut swing path with raw power. Pull approach with bat speed, ball comes off bat well."

Coach Loe comment about Mason in the St. Joseph Post: “Mason, like Matt Kanger, comes from a tremendously successful Creighton Prep program.  Mason has had tremendous success at the high school level and has a live arm that gives him a lot of room to grow.”
