Willis was locked in from the jump as he put together a fantastic outing en route to the region sweep against in-region rivals. Went 6.0 IP with only 2-hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, and 4 K on 80% strikes. Excellent ability to spot both pitches in-the-zone and the two pitch mix consistently disrupted timing all night. Easy operation at 6-foot-2, 205-pounds with present arm speed and a smooth, repeatable delivery while getting downhill. Obvious feel to pitch with much more to project in the frame/profile. Command throughout the zone at 86-87 (T88 MPH) and ride out of the hand. Innate feel to spin the slider at 72-75 with bite and ability to add or subtract horizontal movement. The sophomore also took quality swings in the box throughout the contest. Stays well-balanced with barrel feel and leverage through the zone while being able to work to all-fields with authority. The stock for Willis continues to trend up as he will provide strong two-way value for the Bears this Spring and so forth. Potential to be a must know name come August 1st with a strong Spring/Summer circuit looming.
