TCU commit and one of the top arms in the Illinois’ 2026 class. Lanky, high-waisted 5-foot-10, 160-pound athlete with plenty of room for physical projection. Started on the mound for the Tigers in a tough matchup against Columbia. Quick upright worker, front hip creates forward momentum down the mound, decelerates quickly onto a firm lead leg, finishes towards the first base side. Still learning how to consistently control his body downhill. Short, compact, and tight arm path, finishes out of a loose high ¾ slot. Fastball backspun up in the zone with life at times, holding 84-86 mph throughout with more to come. Spun his curveball at 73-76 mph, flashed to land it for strikes, gradual action. A high-ceiling arm that should continue to trend upward as he physically matures and gains more control of his levers. 

Verbally committed to TCU.

Lean 5-foot-10, 160-pound athlete with plenty of room for physical development. Came out of the ‘pen for the Tigers and hurled a scoreless inning with no hits and a strikeout. Works quick, simple delivery with some sit on his backside, strides across body at times and finishes towards the first base side. Loose quick arm that finishes out of a high ¾ slot, noticeable arm speed. Fastball comes out clean, sat 85-86 mph with some jump up in the zone. Plenty of untapped velocity, has the potential to produce premium heat as he physically matures and gains more comfort moving down the mound. Confidently spun a breaking ball for strikes at 72-74 mph with depth and shape to it, turned to it twice when behind in the count. A high follow name-to-know arm in the state’s 2026 class.
