Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 169-pounds.
Delivery: Slower windup, relaxed, high leg kick, extends glove arm toward home, works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm path, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 84-86 mph. Firm with slight cut, most comfortable pitch. T2494, 2300 average rpm.
CB: 71-74 mph. Quality spin at 2500-2600, 11/5 shape with depth. T2767, 2608 average rpm.
SL: 75-77 mph. Sharp break with 2600 rpm, some downer action. T2654, 2628 average rpm.
CH: 78-78 mph. Plays with some drop and arm-side fade. T1592, 1487 average rpm.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 169-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Wide, slightly open stance, toe-tap trigger, short stride. Flat path, looks to elevate, middle/pull-side approach. 73 mph bat speed with 9 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 82.9 mph. 320’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 81 mph. Quick, clean arm action, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Quick hands that secures the ball into the body, soft hands, moves well to both sides, athletic footwork.
Run: 7.07 runner in the 60.
Athletic, compact 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame, ranked No. 45 overall in the Illinois’ 2026 class. Earned the start for the Crusaders in their state semi-final matchup against Routt Catholic, throwing five innings with six strikeouts, three runs and six hits allowed. Tempo’d, athletic mover, gets down the mound in rhythm and with intent. Keeps his direction to the plate, finishes onto a firm and stable lead leg with an in-line landing. Arm draws back into scap retraction out of his glove, travels on a short and compact path to finish out of a high ¾ slot. Fastball works clean out the hand, played straight at 83-85, touching 86 mph early in his outing. Spun two different breaking balls with above-average feel for both. Slider played at 74-78 mph with true lateral tilt, grabbed swing-and-miss in this look. Spun curveball in the low-70s, has more arch and depth than slider, flashed bite, feel for strikes. A soon-to-be junior arm to follow.
MIF/RHP Alec Novotney (Marquette, 2026) is slowly trending up after having a successful spring where he started at shortstop and led off for the Crusaders. The right-handed hitting middle infielder stands at 5-foot-10, 150-pounds and looks to have grown since our last look during the 2023 IHSA season. An athletic prospect all around, he has an easy and simple swing at the plate with an accurate barrel. His athleticism played well in the infield with his smooth hands and ability to move to both sides. During gameplay, Novotney made a tough back-hand play and threw a runner out at first while moving on the run. On the mound, Novotney displayed an impressive four-pitch arsenal. The two-way prospect paired a low-80s fastball with a high-spin curveball (T2592 RPM) to navigate through a lineup of much older competition. Novotney also showed feel for a wipeout slider (T2423 RPM) and a changeup with 14.1 inches of horizontal movement. An intriguing two way prospect to watch moving forward.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds.
Delivery: High leg lift with upper-body tuck, tall/fall delivery, works in-line, easy.
Arm Action: RH. 3/4 slot, long and loose stroke, repeatable.
FB: T82, 81-82 mph. Attacks hitters at the top of the zone and not afraid to come inside; ride to the pitch. T2243, 1943 average rpm.
CB: 69-72 mph. Good depth, 11/5, sharp action, tunnels off the FB. T2592, 2495 average rpm.
SL: 74-76 mph. Out-pitch potential, late, sharp break. T2423, 2354 average rpm.
CH: 70-72 mph. Slows down arm slightly, fade to the arm-side. T1378, 1297 average rpm.
Stands at a projectable 5-foot-9, 135-pounds. Started at shortstop and batted leadoff. On the day went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored. Impressed on defense where he showed smooth infield actions with confidence to make plays, especially on the move. Consistently made plays with an accurate arm on throws. At the plate, showed a short and direct swing with a line-drive approach.
At 5-foot-9, 135-pounds, RHP Alec Novotney (Marquette Academy, 2026) has an unassuming presence, but showed an advanced skill set on the mound. He’s a small wiry frame who works athletically on the mound with a clean arm and repeatable delivery, showing a high level of pitchability for his age. As a freshman, his fastball is on the verge of breaking 80 mph, but the arm action and curveball spin says he’s not far off from reaching it. His breaking ball was a separator for his age, he flashed sharp action on an 11/5 plane with good overall feel and confidence in the pitch, on top of spinning it in the 2400’s.
