+ RHP Carter Prochaska (Plainfield Central), a 6-foot-2, 170-pound, high-waisted, wide-shouldered, right-hander, featured one of the higher floors of the uncommitted arms in attendance. Still raw and figuring out his full arsenal, Prochaska seemed to be playing light catch during his bullpen, pounding the zone with his fastball that sat an effortless 86-87 mph. Prochaska’s slider is thrown at 69-71 mph with more conviction than his curveball, with his changeup showing feel for the bottom of the zone at 77-79 mph. High-upside 2022 right-handed pitcher.
