McKendree commit. Strong, well-proportioned frame, started on the mound for Belleville West in a win over DeSmet. Threw 4 â…” scoreless innings, striking out 11 and walking three, allowing only one hit. Simple, up-tempo delivery, works rhythmically to balance point and gets down the mound in sync. Throws onto a firm lead leg, stays in line to target, athletic finish. Long and loose arm action, high ¾ finish with arm speed out front. Poised with mound presence - unfazed throughout his start, in control the entire time. Fastball sat 87-89 mph early, touching 90 mph in the first and second inning, settling at 85-86 mph as his start went on. Mostly played straight, worked around the seams to cut it at times, challenged hitters while favoring the corners. Spun a 70-72 mph curveball on occasion with depth, landing it around the zone. Yet another talented arm located in the state’s southern region.
Positional Profile: C
Body: 6-0, 150-pounds. Lean, loose-levered frame.
Hits: RHH. Balanced setup, hands work back as bat wraps, leg lift trigger, strides short. Long, loose path to contact, elevated to the pull-side gap. Finished game play 2-for-7, RBI.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 81.3 MPH. 330' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-81 mph. Quick arm, plays from an over-the-top slot and carries.
Defense: 2.11-2.24 pop times. Low, flexible setup, plays tall and on-line out of the crouch, clean release.
Run: 7.36 runner in the 60.
Vizual Edge: 65.52 Edge Score
Uncommitted junior. 6-foot, 150-pound, right-handed hitting catcher by trait. Started on the mound in the first game of the event and hit in the six-hole. Raw but upside arm on the mound. Arm plays loose, clean and easy from an over-the-top slot. Fastball plays clean out of the hand and mostly straight, working 84-85 mph in the early going. Also, showed a serviceable three-pitch mix with his curveball showing as the best secondary; sat 68-71 mph, 12/6 to 11/5 plane, depth and tight spin (2438 rpm). Changeup played at 79 mph. Offensively, right-handed hitter with loose levers and upside. Finished 2-for-4 with two hits back up the middle and a run scored.
Positional Profile: C/SS
Body: 6-foot, 140-pounds. Lean frame.
Hit: RH. Wide setup, slight crouch, toe-tap trigger, short stride. Short swing, slight uphill bat path, tight turn to the baseball, gap-to-gap approach with line drives.
Power: 82.94 max exit velocity, averaged 78.99 mph. 301’ max distance.
Arm: R. C - 76 mph. Short arm action, second best velocity among catchers at event.
Defense: 2.14-2.21 pop times. Athletic setup, steady hands, clean exchanges.
Run: 7.40 runner in the 60.
