Godlewski

Another uncommitted arm in the 2024 with above-average pitchability is RHP Ethan Godlewski (Lincoln-Way East). Godlewski sat comfortably in the low-80’s topping at 84 mph while mixing in two different breaking balls. The curveball worked with slightly less velocity but flashed more horizontal break and depth than the slider. Godlewski struck out three in his three innings of work.

RHP Ethan Godlewski (Lincoln-Way East, 2024) put together one of the more polished bullpens of the entire event on Monday. Standing at an athletic 6-foot, 180-pounds, the right-hander moves down the mound with a compact drop/drive delivery, repeating his mechanics with ease. Godlewski impressed by using a running fastball at 80-82 mph to fill up the zone consistently, also showing the ability to navigate the pitch to both sides of the plate. He then went on to a sharp 11/5 breaking ball with depth at 68-70 mph, which he was able to land both for strikes and to put would-be hitters away. His third and final offering was a 73-76 mph changeup, thrown with intent and featuring heavy fading action to the arm-side, also thrown for strikes and kept mostly down.
