Kansas State commit. Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West, 2025) started on the mound in Friday night’s last game. He finished the game throwing two innings with five strikeouts, one walk, one run and two hits allowed. Clean, athletic mover on the mound with a loose arm. He used his fastball often which sat 89-91 mph, topping out at 92 mph with mostly straight actions. He also mixed in slider with hard bite at 76-78 mph with 2200-2300 rpm. A high-level arm in the state’s incoming senior class. Essenburg later showed easy right-handed pop at the plate, lacing two doubles in their game on Saturday. He uses a whole field approach at the plate, and can generate power to any part of the field. He also showed natural actions in the outfield with his strong arm translating to the outfield as well.
Essenburg was one of the top two-way threats in the state this season and helped lead Lincoln-Way West to a 30-5 record. The Warriors quickly ascended into the Top-10 in the state and remained there for the entirety of the season. Essenburg was the clear ace of the staff and a presence in the middle of the order throughout the season. From the mound, the Kansas State commit finished the season 10-2 with a 101 strikeouts in 52 innings pitched. The southpaw broke the school’s record for single-season wins and single-season strikeouts while sporting a 1.48 ERA. Offensively, he slashed .388/.554/.673 with 14 extra-base hits, 4 home runs, and 29 RBIs. Essenburg will look to build off his record-breaking year in his 2025 senior spring.
Kansas State commit. Currently ranked No. 11 in the state, and No. 188 nationally. Essenburg got the start on the mound and batted out of the two-spot for the Warriors on Monday. The strong and athletic 6-foot-1, 198-pound two-way prospect continued to show the type of upside he’s been putting on display all spring. On the bump, the southpaw works with clean, longer arm action with acceleration out front. The ball has life out of the hand, with his fastball sitting 90-93 mph in the early stages of his outing, before settling in at 87-90. He showed two different breaking balls; a sharp curveball at 75-78 mph, and a slider at 77-80 mph that plays more horizontally. He was able to get 2300+ rpm on each breaking ball, and induced some uncomfortable swings throughout his start. Essenburg also put together some competitive at-bats against a talented arm. In his first at-bat he displayed a mature approach, not chasing pitches out of the zone, and in a 3-2 count, sent a hanging breaking ball into left on a hard line drive. The right-handed hitter has some easy strength in the swing and showed the ability to make hard contact to all fields. The two-way prospect finished the day 1-for-3 at the plate, while tallying seven strikeouts over five innings of work on the mound.
Kansas State commit. Ranked No. 11 in the state and No. 188 in the country. Arrow has been going way up all spring long and warrants a rise in the next update. True two-way prospect has been lights out on the mound and has impressed with the bat all spring long; left-handed thrower, right-handed hitter. Did not pitch in this look. Started in right field and hit in the two-hole. 6-foot-1, 198-pound, broad-shouldered, strong, well-proportioned frame. Advanced offensive profile. Feel to hit with power to all fields. Loose, aggressive swing while staying within. Uses the whole field, gets off his “A” swing consistently and in all counts. Path is long through the zone with extension post-contact. “Yes, yes, no” mentality with presence and athleticism in the box. Competitive overall nature to his game, which should continue to elevate his current profile, most notably, if it can be channeled towards himself and own team. Finished 1-for-2 with a two-run home run on an elevated breaking ball. Defensively, athletic enough to play all over the outfield and first base. Is one of the best defensive first baseman in the state. Looked natural in right-field in this look. Confident overall actions and judged fly balls with ease despite a strong wind blowing out to center field. Arm plays strong and accurately. We also saw him earlier in the week on the mound, where he once again was dominant, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning before allowing a two-out single, finishing the day with 6.2 innings, the lone hit allowed, three walks and 13 strikeouts. He attacked the zone with a fastball up to 93 mph early, sitting mostly 90-91 in the early going and settling in at 87-89 into the seventh inning. He went to a sharp curveball in the mid-70s and a lateral slider at 77-78 mph for swing and miss, pairing effectively off the fastball. His final offering was a fading changeup around 79-81 mph. One of the top prospects in the state continues to “perform” on the field. Making a strong case for All-State honors down the road.
Kansas State commit. Currently ranked No. 11 in the state and No. 188 in the country. Lean, athletic 6-foot-1, 198-pound frame, some strength throughout with room to continue to develop physically. Started on the mound for the Warriors and threw it well over his 4.2 innings of work, allowing two runs on one hit with five walks and 11 strikeouts. The southpaw has a simple delivery, working into a short balance point with a slight tuck before working in-line down the mound with a smooth tempo. Clean, long arm circle in the back, delivers his arsenal from a high ¾ release, some intent and quickness out front. His fastball sat 90-92 mph in the first inning, settling in around 88-90 throughout the rest of his outing and still reaching back for 92 in the third inning, playing with heavy/late running action to the arm-side for swing and miss. Showed confidence in both a curveball and a slider; with the curveball playing off a 1/7 plane with late depth and sharp action, 74-77 mph, kept mostly down and to his glove side. His slider showed more lateral action with similarly late break, thrown with arm-speed at 78-80 mph. Though he didn’t really need it, he showed a changeup in his second inning of work to switch up the pace, playing around 80-81 mph with late fading action, kept below the zone and to his arm-side. The right-handed hitter also had an impressive day at the plate, finishing 3-for-5 with a triple, double, three RBIs and a run scored. He has a confident presence in the box, controlled load that gains ground towards the mound, hands rock back slightly with timing before working into a direct path, looks to stay inside the baseball, used the opposite field with authority all game long. High-level two-way athlete that continues to perform well in front of our staff.
A dynamic two-way prospect in the state’s 2025 class, 1B/LHP Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West; Kansas State commit) put his talents on display at The MAX this weekend. A 6-foot-1, 198-pound athlete, Essenburg repeatedly produced hard contact to the middle of the field from a fast left-handed swing. He found the barrel seven times at 95+ or higher throughout his round, with his three hardest batted balls checking in at 101 mph, 102.1 mph, and 105.1 mph, respectively. All of Essenburg’s Blast Motion metrics are advanced - peak hand speed (24.1 mph), average hand speed (23.6 mph), max bat speed (80.3 mph), average bat speed (77.9 mph). He tied for the event’s hardest throw across the infield, from first base, at 90 mph, and he also pitched at 86-88 mph on the mound.
Kansas State commit, 1B/LHP Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West) really opened some eyes with his round of batting practice, delivering line-drives and hard elevated contact back up the middle of the field repeatedly; leading the entire event with a max EV of 105.1 mph with an average of 95.5 mph (T340’). He’s an advanced defender at first base, showing fluid footwork and soft hands with clear feel around the bag and for the position, also topping at 90 mph across the diamond. It’s as easy, loose and simple as it gets on the mound, using minimal effort to touch 88.4 mph with his fastball that has slight arm-side run. Essenburg’s changeup looks to be his best off-speed offering, sitting 79-81 mph with -15.6 inches of horizontal movement, and he showed a curveball that sat 76-79 mph with short break.
1B/LHP Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West, 2025; Kansas State commit) looked the part as not only the best player on the diamond on Saturday, but one of the top athletes in the Illinois’ 2025 class. The right-handed batter presented serious power potential at the plate, consistently barreling line drives to the pull-side. His high EV’s, previously recorded at 100.4 mph this past winter, were noteworthy in live action. In a solid 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame, Essenburg presented a quick bat and aggressive approach in the batter’s box. He continues to elevate his level of play, heading into the offseason as the No. 4 ranked prospect in Illinois’ 2025 class.
Essenburg did it all for Lincoln-Way West this spring, which resulted in him earning third-team honors. At the plate, he recorded 124 at-bats, 45 hits, 40 RBIs, and seven home runs. Essenburg finished with a slash line of .363/.397/.653. On the mound, he broke a school record with 98 Ks over 54 IP. The Kansas State commit kept a BAA of .186, cementing himself as one of the top two-way prospects in the 2025 class. Just a sophomore, Essenburg is a high-follow prospect for the upcoming years.
One of the top two-way prospects in the class is Kansas State commit 1B/LHP Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West, 2025). The right-handed hitter provided one of the more powerful rounds of batting practice at the event producing a max exit velocity of 98.6 mph, an average exit velocity of 90.6 mph, and a max batted distance of 363 feet. On the infield, Essenburg is an advanced first baseman with soft hands, athletic actions and a strong arm that plays clean and topped at 84 mph. He later hopped on the mound and sat 84-86 mph, topping out at 86.8 mph with natural armside run (17.1” HM avg). Essenburg mixed in a short breaking slider with 1/7 shape in the low-70s (2085 average rpm). He also showed off an advanced changeup that led the event with the most horizontal movement (21.4” avg).

Week 2: Essenburg was named the Week 2 PBR Illinois Pitcher of the Week after tossing six innings with 13 strikeouts, one hit and one walk.
Kansas State commit. Currently ranked No. 7 in the state, No. 318 in the country. 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame with some strength starting to show, still has plenty of room to add on more strength as he matures. Showed well at the plate as he went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI. Mature and confident presence in the box, remaining ready to hit and often attacking early in the count. Showcased high-level bat and hand speed, working through the zone with intent to lift, also showing the ability to sit back on the breaking ball as he lifted a curveball up in the zone to his pull-side gap for a double. Impressed in the outfield as well with steady hands and actions, also showing off premier arm-strength as he gunned a runner out at home with a throw on the fly from right-field. High-level 2025 with legitimate two-way potential at the next level.
Kansas State commit. Currently ranked No. 7 in the state, No. 318 nationally. 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, athletic build with some strength starting to show. Started on the mound for the Warriors and fired five shutout innings with three hits, eight strikeouts and four walks. The southpaw worked his fastball up to 90 mph, sitting right at 89 mph for a good portion of his start before settling in at 86-88 mph with heavy ASR. He went to a sharp, downer breaking ball at 76-80 mph, dumping it in both for strikes and to put hitters away. He also went to a fading changeup at 80-81 mph in which he maintains arm-speed. High-level 2025 with advanced feel over his arsenal.
Kansas State commit. Currently ranked No. 7 in the Illinois’ 2025 class. 6-foot-1, 190-pound, frame, continues to tick up with quality lean muscle throughout. True two-way prospect, got the start on the mound and hit in the two-hole. Took a number of quality, intentful swings on the day. Presence in the box, consistently on-time, selectively aggressive, loose, strong hands and the bat stays in the zone a long time with well above-average bat speed. Fouled a 92 mph fastball straight back in his first at-bat before seeing a breaking ball up in the zone and barreling it to deep center field for a double. Just missed a ball in his final at-bat, flying out to left field. Overall, impressive offensive showing. Finished 1-for-3 with a double and run scored. On the mound, he was equally as impressive. Athletic mover down the mound, short, clean arm action, ¾ slot with seemingly more velocity to come. Fastball gets all kinds of natural running and sinking action, late life and held 85-88 mph throughout, touching 89 early. Showed a well-above average breaking ball that played with feel, anywhere from 74-79 mph with the ability to manipulate shape and depth. Waited until late in the outing to show a changeup and used it with two strikes for consecutive strikeouts at 78 mph. One of the top left-handed arms in the class with upside to all parts of his game. Got the win going five innings, two hits, one run, 11 strikeouts and two walks.
1B/LHP Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West, 2025), a recent Kansas State commit, showed off some natural actions on the infield, moving around the bag with fluid footwork and soft hands with a clear feel for the position - also reaching up to 89 mph across the diamond which is four mph harder than our last look. At the plate, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound, right-handed hitter has a fluid, upside right-handed swing that works on-plane with rhythm and feel for the barrel. The true, two-way prospect is a southpaw on the mound with an advanced fastball curveball combination, sitting 86-88 mph with some big arm side action, pairing well with a slurve type breaking ball that works across the zone.

LHP/1B Conor Essenburg (Lincoln Way-West, 2025) has feel and instincts to his overall game. Offensively, the right-handed hitter has an athletic swing that stays on-plane and repeats natural gap-to-gap contact. Defensively, he moves athletically and his arm works in unison with his body, routinely firing firm and accurate throws that showed life and carry from a loose/whippy arm; also acting as an elite defender at first base. His arm easily translates over to the mound, working with a controlled tempo into a short balance point, gliding down the mound while remaining in-line. He worked his fastball in the 84-88 mph range, playing with clear life out of the hand and life through the zone. His best secondary offering was a sharp 1/7 breaking ball, thrown with feel to his glove-side on the back-foot of would-be righties, 70-73 mph. His changeup plays with hard fading action to his arm-side, kept mostly down at 76-78 mph. To round out his repertoire he went to an intriguing knuckleball, thrown hard at 73-77 mph while killing spin and playing with unpredictable action.
Positional Profile: 1B/LHP
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Long legged
Hit: RHH. Tall, slightly open setup. Smooth leg lift timing trigger. Athletic swing, lets the ball travel, fast hands, works uphill and on-plane throughout, stays inside the baseball.
Power: 91.7 max exit velocity, averaged 76.2 mph. 305’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 85 mph. Short, clean arm action. High 3/4 slot. Quick to release at times. Throws play with carry across the diamond.
Defense: Athletic actions, quick feet and exchange with feel for the position.
Run: 7.63 runner in the 60.
Essenburg has an athletic look to his overall game and especially at the plate. It is a loose, athletic swing that gets extension through contact and is tailored to elevate the baseball with authority and sit somewhere in the middle of an order. He is also an above-average first baseman and has a bright future on the mound, though he did not pitch at this event; his 85 mph high across from a loose, quick left-handed arm is evidence of this, however.
6-foot, 153 pounds; long levers, high waist, present athleticism. Came in relief to strike out nine over five innings to secure the win on Friday night at our PBR at The Rock Championships.
