Ethan
Dorchies

Illinois-Chicago commit, RHP Ethan Dorchies (Cary-Grove), was one of the biggest winners on the day, setting a new personal record, running his fastball up to 91.5 mph. Dorchies stands out immediately thanks to his long, loose-limbed, upside 6-foot-5, 195-pound frame and young look. The ceiling and present stuff make Dorchies one of the more interesting arms in the class. The fastball plays with life and jumps out of the hand with big extension down the mound that makes his firm fastball seem to play up that much more. He also showed off a late-breaking horizontal cutter in the low-80s with 2238 average rpm and a splitter in the upper-70’s with all kinds of tumble and action to it at times. Dorchies should continue to climb up the board in Illinois as he corrals and polishes his overall arsenal.
