RHP Adam Gerl (Lincoln-Way West) is another arm for Team 6 that showed well - punching out three over his two innings of work. Gerl presents a sturdy frame at 5-foot-8, 177-pounds, and showed strike feel with his two-pitch mix. His fastball sat 80-83 mph (T84) with arm-side run (avg. 15.3” HM) to it, while the curveball showed 11/5 bite at 70-74 mph.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 5-8, 177-pounds.
Delivery: Stretch only, simple delivery, methodical tempo into a medium leg-lift, holds a slight pre-bend in the back knee down the mound, works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Compact, shorter arm path, low 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 80-83 mph. Sinking fastball, thrown mostly glove-side. T2323, 2025 average rpm.
CB: 71-74 mph. Complements well with the fastball, has a late 11/5 break, throws low in the zone. T2176, 2026 average rpm.
OF/RHP Adam Gerl (Lincoln-Way West, 2025) was impressive on both sides of the ball at Joliet. The right-handed hitter showed above-average power with a max exit velocity of 94.8 mph, averaging 87 mph with a max distance of 340’. He also showed well above-average arm strength on the mound, reaching up to 85 mph to pair with a short 11/5 curveball and a late fading changeup. Ran a 7.09 laser-timed 60.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 5-8, 170-pounds. Athletic build, well proportioned.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, slightly open stance. Toe-tap stride. Long swing, ball jumps off the bat.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 87.1 mph. 340’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 81 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Light on his feet at times, gains ground through crow hop, steady hands.
Run: 7.09 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Smooth, controlled tall and fall delivery, stays closed down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Short, compact arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 82-85 mph. Lively out of the hand, late ride and finish. T1971, 1802 average rpm.
CB: 70-73 mph. Thrown with intent, short 11/5 wrinkle, around the zone. T2219, 2156 average rpm.
CH: 76-77 mph. Plays with arm speed, flashed late run. Some feel. T1420, 1345 average rpm.
