Dominic
Coda

Lewis University commit, currently ranked No. 257 in the Illinois 2022 class. Came out of the ‘pen for Joliet Catholic and showed feel for two quality pitches. Coda works with a drop/drive lower-half, loading into his lead-hip to create power down the mound, striding in-line with the plate. The right-hander’s arm works quick to release from a ¾ slot, creating natural sink to his fastball that cruised in the 82-85 mph range. He also showed to have some feel for a slurvy breaking ball with 10/4 shape, thrown at 73-74 mph.
