Game Performance

Notes

Comments

5/17/25
Middlebury College Commit. 6-foot-2, 169-pound frame with remaining physical projection. Zidlicky would have a dominant performance on the mound during the first head of the Saturday doubleheader, ultimately working a complete game in which he struck out 11 across seven innings while only allowing one earned run and one walk. The right-handed arm would show a fastball in the mid-to-upper-80s, topping out at 87 mph, also showing an upper-70s slider and 73-75 mph curveball. Zidlicky showed controlled, intentful movements on the mound with a medium leg lift and balance throughout his delivery. The Nazareth senior was confident in the zone throughout his outing, with a 72.3% strike rate. With clear pitchability and mound presence, there is a lot to like about Zidlicky's profile.

Middlebury commit. Currently ranked No. 217 in the state. Lean, long-levered 6-foot-2, 168-pound frame. Got the ball to start on the mound and turned in a quality outing. A simple mover down the mound paired with a compact arm that works from a high ¾ slot. He showed feel for three pitches; working his fastball in the 86-88 mph range (T89), while showing above-average spin (2400+ rpm) on his 74-75 mph curveball, and rounding things out with a 78-79 mph slider. He turned in a final line of: W, 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K.

Uncommitted, long-levered, wide-shouldered frame. Came out of the bullpen for Nazareth and showed a big jump in velocity in less than a month's time. Controlled, segmented tall and fall delivery with a loose, easy arm from a high ¾ slot. Challenged with the fastball throughout, sat 83-87 mph (2500+ rpm) which was up from 81-82 on April 29th. Fastball plays out of the hand easy and clean; flashed arm-side-run and lively finish at times. Mixed in a developing curveball at 69-73 mph with 2450-2600 rpm working off an 11/5 plane and bite at times. Allowed one hit, no runs, struck out four and walked four in three innings of work. High-ceiling sophomore who looks to be just scratching the surface of his potential. 

 
4/29/23

Uncommitted. Long, wide-shouldered frame. Came out of the bullpen and warrants a follow moving forward. Went 1.1 innings of no hit baseball while striking out two and walking one. Long arm action, high ¾ slot and attacked with a fastball that sat at 81-82 mph. Went to a 69 mph curveball with 11/5 shape and occasional depth. Frame and stuff to keep an eye on moving forward.
