Sam HubbeSt. Charles North’s Sam Hubbe is an unsigned senior right-handed pitcher who is drawing attention from several Divison-I schools thanks to a lanky, projectable frame, and a fastball that can touch the mid-80’s. At February’s Preseason All-State Showcase Hubbe’s fastball sat in the 81-82 mph range. Hubbe is currently ranked No. 216 in Illinois' 2015 class.

During the spring high school season Hubbe posted a 1.8 ERA over 34 innings, with 36 strikeouts and 13 walks.

In June, at Harvey Foster’s Northwest Suburban Baseball Tournament at St. Charles North High School, he showed improved fastball velocity, in the 83-86 mph range, paired with a 65-67 mph breaking ball.

Here’s a look at February’s scouting report from the PBR scouting staff:
