Notes

3/01/23

INF/RHP Ethan Bass (Glenbrook North), an Illinois commit, opened eyes with his round of BP and went on to stand out in every area of the event. The right-handed hitter creates advanced bat speed for his age and gets all kinds of easy jump off the barrel in BP. Bass has loose, elite hands at the plate, creating leverage and natural lift with innate feel for the barrel. The 6.96 runner registered a max exit velocity of 100.5 mph off the bat, 89.8 mph average and a peak batted ball of 350’. Defensively he continues to trend in the right direction, adding five mph to his arm across the diamond (now T89 mph) with his usual soft hands and clear feel for the position. He also hopped on the mound, where he showcased a long and quick arm out of a ¾ slot and sat an easy 84-86 mph on the mound with a pair of breaking balls. The slider played best at 71-75 and spinning at over 2300 rpm. High-level 2026 prospect.

Illinois commit, SS Ethan Bass (Glenbrook North), has had a huge fall, standing out everywhere he has been, and the Underclass Showcase was no different. Bass, one of the top 2026s we have seen to-date in Illinois, continued to show off an elite right-handed swing while leading the event with a 96.8 mph max exit velocity and launching the furthest batted ball at 370’, more than 15’ further than anyone else in attendance. Bass has athletic hands with bat speed, stays flat through the zone and looks to do damage with hard, loud contact off the barrel while working gap-to-gap. Defensively, he plays best on the move, playing with active feet and a loose arm that topped at 82 mph. On the mound, Bass impressed with a high-spinning fastball that sat in the 81-83 mph range, spinning routinely over 2,500 RPM with over 13” of run at times. His breaking balls are both well above-average for his age as well; with the curveball playing with sharp 11/5 action at 65-68 mph (T2352 RPM) and the slider playing with more 10/4 shape and late bite, 69-71 mph (T2342 RPM), occasionally pulling both offerings to his glove-side but overall showing control down in accordance with the zone. To fill out his repertoire he went to a changeup at 66-68 mph, killing spin and reaching over 16” of horizontal movement at times. Bass continues to show upside to all aspects of his game and is a legitimate two-way name to know in the 2026 class.

One of the top all-around performances came from Ethan Bass (Glenbrook North, 2026), who started off his day by running a 7.25 60-time, tied for second in the event. Bass led the event in infield velocity, reaching up to 84 mph across the diamond. His arm easily translated to the mound as well, running his fastball up to 83 mph with control over a mature four-pitch mix. At the plate, the right-handed hitter impressed with one of the louder rounds of the day; recording a 90 mph exit velocity with easy bat-speed and quick hands.
